Two people traveling in a vehicle along the road between Agok and Mayom reportedly ran into the bush when stopped by SPLA soldiers and have not been seen again.

Abyei Today reported that Sikuku Joseph, a construction engineer for Mercy Corps, and his wife are missing after running into the bush when their vehicle was stopped by SPLA soldiers in Unity state.

Sikuku and his wife Lidia were in a Land Cruiser when it was halted in Bong village on the Agok to Mayom road on Friday a week ago.

The driver, Garang Ngor, said the pair ran into the bush before SPLA allowed the vehicle to continue on its way.
