The Warrap State government has instructed the security organs to swiftly deploy forces in Akop Payam following the recent deadly attack that reportedly claimed 72 lives.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from the Warrap State Ministry of Information and Communication Service, the attackers targeted Akop Payam.<\/p>\n

The government condemned the attack and discouraged the growing trend of back-and-forth involvement of armed elements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government of Warrap State has instructed the security organs to swiftly deploy forces to Akop Payam and transfer the wounded for treatment, while urging for calm and restraint,” the statement partly read.<\/p>\n

According to the state Ministry of Information, the alleged armed elements were from Mayom County of Unity State and sub-sections of Alabek Payam, which tragically claimed 72 lives, including two (2) women, and wounded 38.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifty (50) of the deceased were from the attackers\u2019 side, while 22 are from the victim\u2019s side,” the statement partly read.<\/p>\n

The ministry said that an unidentified number of cattle were raided in the Majak-Kou cattle camp, and the two main markets of Athieng-puol, Rual-mailth and selected households in different villages in Akop Payam were deliberately burnt to ashes.<\/p>\n

On October 24, 2026, a targeted blood killing claimed 8 innocent civilians, including one girl in Mading-Juer, linked to the cycle of killing and revenge.<\/p>\n

The government of Warrap State conveys heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and wishes the injured a quick recovery.<\/p>\n

Warrap and Unity States were establishing communications to recover the raided cattle, identify the criminals involved and bring them to book.<\/p>\n

Warrap State Government appealed for cooperation and support from humanitarian partners and well-wishers to respond to the incident that has left vulnerable women, children and the elderly without food, medicine and shelter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
