JUBA – A South Sudanese young businessman is missing in the capital Juba after unidentified armed criminals pursued him.
One family member told Sudans Post this morning that Chuol Dak Pieny, a businessman working in Juba’s Konyokonyo, went missing on Monday evening when the unidentified bandits armed with AK-47 riffles approached his shop in Konyokonyo.
“On Monday evening, our brother Chuol Dak Pieny who own a shop in Konyokonyo went missing. Some men who we couldn’t identify went to his shop and he fled after they tried to arrest him, since then he has been of nowhere and he hasn’t returned home,” one family member told Sudans Post on condition of anonymity in Juba today.
Another family member, Tor Malual Wun, said in Cairo that the young businessman called on phone to inform the family that he is wounded in his hand and his leg and was hiding in a place that he could not locate.
“Yesterday, he called us and he told us that he is wounded in his hand and he is hiding in a place he didn’t know. We don’t know if some people are asking for ransom,” Tor said.
It remains unclear if he called to inform the family if someone is asking for ransom.
