The police officer killed First Lieutenant Ibrahim Badawi, after he was stabbed with a knife by a group of bullies in Haya. According to city sources, the group tried to storm the Petronays company building, and the commander of the guarding force was killed. The states of eastern Sudan are witnessing security tension, especially after the signing of the peace agreement in Juba, where local components see that the group signed in the name of the East does not represent them. Yesterday, part of the port gates at Port Sudan were closed to protest the signing of the agreement. The Police Department did not issue a statement about the assassination.
