Warrap governor arrests 5 chiefs over cattle raid

The governor of Warrap State has ordered the arrest of five chiefs from Pagakdit in Tonj North County for failing to recover 300 cattle stolen from the Leer community of Kirik Payam.

Maj. Ajal Bol Bol, head of Criminal Investigations, said the raid was carried out by armed youth from Pagakdit last week and allegedly took place in the presence of the chiefs.

“The armed youth known as “Gelweng” raided three hundred head of cattle from Leer community and divided the cattle among them. The governor gave an order to return the cattle because he was in Tonj South. The armed youth divided the cattle by force. The governor ordered chiefs arrest,” Bol stated.

The arrested chiefs include the Paramount Chief Ayii Agiu Kuot, Executive Chiefs Deng Ayuel Madut, Deng Chol Mayen, Nyang Monyluek Mapiny, and Sub-chief Akech Aleu Madut.

The chiefs were transferred to Kuajok on orders from governor Magok Magok, after they failed to persuade the youth to return the stolen cattle.

Twic County Officials Move to End Illegal Roadblocks
Twic County, April 18, 2025 — In a bid to streamline movement and secure legitimate revenue, Twic County Commissioner Hon. John Mabior Marup and SSPDF Division 11 commander Maj. Gen. Jima Rehan today visited the Madou and Nyin Deng Ayuel areas to engage with soldiers, youth leaders, Titweng representatives and local elders.

During the field visit, both leaders announced a clear set of directives:
• Immediate Ban on Unauthorized Checkpoints: All informal roadblocks must be dismantled at once. “These illegal stops have inconvenienced travelers and encouraged extortion,” Commissioner Marup said.
• CID to Oversee Foreign‑Related Matters: The Criminal Investigation Department is now responsible for any issues involving non‑citizens, ensuring security and due process.
• National Revenue Authority to Handle All Tax Collection: Only official NRA officers may collect fees at approved checkpoints, ending rogue taxation.

“By shutting down unregulated checkpoints, we protect motorists, reduce delays and guarantee that revenue supports county development,” Marup added. Maj. Gen. Rehan pledged full SSPDF support: “Our troops will enforce these orders firmly but fairly, safeguarding both community welfare and free movement.”

Residents and transport operators have already welcomed the move, expressing optimism that the changes will curb corruption, boost trade, and foster greater trust between citizens and authorities. Local enforcement teams will begin monitoring compliance immediately.
