A family in Nyatieg village, Suna East sub-county, is living in fear due to ongoing attacks by an unknown arsonist. Over the past week, an unidentified individual has attempted to set fire to several structures on their property, with the latest incident reported on Saturday afternoon.
Lucy Awuor, a family member, told Citizen Digital that the identified arsonist set fire to one of the houses at the homestead, but fortunately, the fire was extinguished. She mentioned that the suspect returned on Sunday morning and torched two structures, which the family, along with a neighbor, managed to put out.
Awuor expressed concerns that the suspect might return to set fire to the houses again and has appealed for police intervention. Area chief Philp Kisiagro confirmed that the unidentified arsonist had attempted to burn three structures at the same homestead, with the latest incident occurring on Sunday morning.
The chief noted that one of the children in the affected home spotted the suspect fleeing into a nearby sugarcane plantation, and authorities are currently pursuing the suspect.
