Armed men abduct a child in Bor
A one-year-old boy was abducted Sunday by a group of armed men in the Werkok area, 25 kilometers north of the Jonglei State capital, Bor, authorities have said.
Bishop James Deng of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan's Makuac Diocese told Radio Tamazuj that the boy identified as Thon Makuac Deng was abducted when armed men attacked a group of women who were harvesting crops at a farm in Werkok village.
“Those criminals attacked the women while at a farm around the homestead. They beat up one woman and took that child. No one was killed during the incident. But a 40-year-old man called Mayath is missing till now after the incident,” Bishop Deng explained.
