Jonglei State Authorities are set to handover more than twenty abductees to Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) this week. 

This came after the both state authorities negotiated the release of children and women abducted by Local Raiders who is alleged to be behind the attack on GPAA in December 2022. 

As a sign of good faith the Greater Pibor Administrative Area authorities handed over 60 abductees to Jonglei State Authorities last week on January 11 2023. 

John Samuel Jonglei State Information Minister said that, the abductees will be airlifted to GPAA by UNICEF. 

The State Information Minister further said that the number of abducted children in both sides of the states totals to 88. 

He said that not all the abducted children are able to be accessed and the leadership of the state has identified several location were abducted children are being auction. 

This is as the authorities are still engaging with the abductors to hand over the rest of the survivors to the state government.
