3 electricians from the company Electrokimo, the branch of Sokimo which manages the hydroelectric plant of Budana which supplies the city of Bunia and the surrounding area with electrical energy.
The fact occurred earlier this week on the road to Nyangarai, said engineer Fabrice Bozene head of the electricity network in this state-owned company.
"They were sent to repair the high-voltage line that goes to Mungwalu, but armed men kidnapped them. The security services are already on the job to try to find them "he said.
According to him, the kidnappers who contacted officials of Electrokimo demand a ransom before releasing the 3 technicians who would be exposed to atrocious torture.
The Codeco attackers have multiplied kidnapping acts for ransom in this region.
Earlier this month, a civil society actor in Bambu was kidnapped before being shot dead for lack of ransom payment by his family.
Also in the morning of Friday, June 19, 2020, men in the arms identified with CODECO militiamen ambushed the Djalasiga-Mahagi road more than 80 km west of downtown Mahagi.
Arnold Lokwa, chief of chiefdom of Panduru's reports, indicates that the attackers looted two bikers before burning down a few huts but didn't specifying the exact number.
Then they disappeared into the wild at the level of the village Ukurokwodo.
"They were seen in Umu on the Djalasiga-Mahagi road. They were youths with sharp edged weapons, on their way, they just looted the money from the motorcycle riders and released them, "he said.
This section connecting the locality of Djalasiga to the rural commune of Mahagi has been insecure since the atrocities recorded by the Anghal 2 group during the past few months.
