Torit County Legal Advisor John Wani who disappeared from home on July 10 and was feared dead, has been found alive by local Mura Hatiha youths.

The Catholic Radio Network reported that a young man of the Mura Hatiha of Hiyala Payam found the legal advisor in a remote village, having been taken in the care of strangers.

He was ill and thought to be suffering from typhoid and malaria at the time he was found, according to Torit County Commissioner German Charles Ojok.

Earlier it was reported that the prosecutor’s vehicle had been found abandoned along the road at Loming village on Loming-Imehejek road.

The commissioner said the legal advisor Wani was found on Saturday and is now undergoing treatment to resume normal life and work.

The commissioner appreciated the young man and the people of Mura Hatiha.

Meanwhile, it was also reported that the Mura Hatiha community made a peace deal with the Tirangore community, on the same day as the prosecutor was found.

The Torit Commissioner was present at the reconciliation ceremony on Saturday at Segar, as was the Eastern Equatoria Local Government Minister Charles Ambrose Lokonoi, who was quoted as urging the two communities to desist from revenge killings and warned against road attacks on cars.
