The South Sudan MP for Yei River State, Jacob Kuwinsuk Gale, who was killed last Friday by unknown gunmen, has been buried in Uganda.
Kuwinsuk was shot as he visited his relatives after successfully holding talks with the South Sudan refugees and locals who fled South Sudan over conflicts.
The North Western police spokesperson, Ms Josephine Angucia, told Daily Monitor on Monday morning they spoke to Kuwinsuk’s relatives staying in Uganda and they agreed to bury him in Yumbe over insecurity in his home country.
“He has been buried temporarily in Dongoture village in Kerwa Sub-county in Yumbe District,” Ms Angucia said.
Ms Angucia said they have not arrested anyone yet but investigations are underway.
“The district security team has been meeting to discuss ways of intercepting those carrying illegal guns especially at the Uganda-South Sudan borders,” she said.
There have been reported cases of insecurity in the districts of Moyo, Yumbe and Koboko where armed men enter and kill South Sudanese living in Uganda in what’s believed to be a spill over of the insecurity in Africa’s youngest nation.
