NSS captain shot dead ‘cheating’ wife, police officer

JUBA — A South Sudan National Security Service officer has opened fire and killed his wife and a police officer for committing extramarital affairs, security sources with direct knowledge said.

The man identified as National Security Service Capt. Longar Akok killed the wife and the police officer after the two have been allegedly engaged in an extramarital affairs for sometime.

“The incident occurred at night at Beduion Lounge’s parking lot near Pyramid Hotel. A national security officer came and found his wife being taken off from a car by a police officer who has an affair with her and killed the two on spot,” one security source said.

“After that, he shot another person who later died in the hospital and this issue has been on the sight since last year and if there was any person from the law enforcement who could volunteer to solve it, it could have been avoided,” the source added.

Another source said Capt. Longar had warned the ministry of interior about the behavior of the police officer, who is believed to be a second-lieutenant, towards his wife but the issue could not be brought to an end.

“He spoke to the police command about what their man was doing with his wife, the mother of his children, and even has spoken to the family of the police man, but this deceased man has not taken any of the advices from his commanders or the family,” the source said.

“On the night of the incident, this NSS security man went to work because he works at night and in the middle of the night, he came using a boda-boda and saw his wife being taken to a car from home by the police officer and he followed them until they arrived at the parking lot and asked ‘didn’t I warned you against making relationship with my wife?’ and then shot the man, the wife and another person,” he added.
