Police in Juba have detained 25 individuals suspected of affiliation with a local gang after conducting a search in the Loglogo suburb on Tuesday. The arrests were made following the discovery of illicit drugs, machetes, and banned liquor known as ‘Jena Fa’ar’ in their possession.
Maj General Daniel Justin, the spokesperson of the National Police Service, reiterated the force’s unwavering commitment to combating criminal activities.
