Armed assailants on Saturday afternoon abducted three people in Duk County of Jonglei State, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Duk county information director, Sebit Pinymol said the victims were walking from Poktap, the county headquarters to a nearby village when they were waylaid at Wernyol.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were four women moving from Poktap to Panyagoor towns. One of them is a lactating mother. At Wernyol, they were attacked and abducted but one escape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The official condemned the attack which he blamed on suspected cattle raiders.<\/p>\n
\u201cEfforts by our youth to recover the people were futile. So, we appeal for return of these abductees,\u201d Pinymol said.<\/p>\n
In the Jonglei area, cattle raids and abduction are commonplace, with perpetrators often going unpunished.<\/p>\n
Last week, several people were also abducted in road attacks in parts of the state.<\/p>\n
