(YEI RIVER COUNTY) – Police authorities in Yei River County have urged boda-boda riders to avoid travelling to remote parts of the county during late evening hours following reported robberies and killings targeting motorcycle riders.
The Yei River County Police Chief said riders should exercise caution when transporting passengers to distant areas, particularly Kagelu, Otogo and Mugwo Payams among other far locations.
The warning comes over rising criminal attacks on riders as police continue investigating the reported theft of a motorcycle at gunpoint last week. The motorcycle was reportedly taken towards Otogo Payam.
“My message to all the boda-boda riders in Yei town is that if somebody wants you to take you far to places like Kagelu, Otogo and Mugwo because we don’t know what the intention of the passenger is all about and we don’t know maybe they have bad intention to kill you or robe your motorcycle because of money on the road. I call on you to work within the town”
Police official Lujang also called on residents and community members to report security threats and suspicious activities to nearby police outposts to help authorities respond to crimes affecting civilians.
The warning follows Friday’s killing of a student who also worked as a boda-boda rider in Yei town.
