Torit, 15 June, 2023 / 11:47 am (ACI Africa).
St. Francis of Assisi Parish of the Catholic Diocese of Torit in South Sudan was, over the last weekend, looted a “sixth time” in a nighttime robbery, the Parish Priest has told ACI Africa in an interview.
In the Tuesday, June 13 interview, Fr. Lazarus Elia Wani said the June 10 robbery that involved some armed people happened “at around 2 a.m. when we were sleeping”.
The robbers, Fr. Elia said, “broke into some rooms meant for the guests”, and made away with "a solar inverter, three bottles of altar wine, and new bedsheets” as well as some cash equivalent of US$700.00
“This is now the sixth time these people are coming to steal and go away,” the South Sudanese Catholic Priest said, adding, “We have given the information to the police and they are still investigating but I don’t know if they will get them.”
In the June 13 interview with ACI Africa, Fr. Elia described the robbers as “destructive people who don’t think and value the development of the country, community and the future of others.”
