Saber was to death last month after raping a six-year-old child to death. Omer Mohamed Omer, who is accused of harboring the criminal, was sentenced to five years in jail.
In a statement seen by Sudans Post, Northern Bahr el Ghazal state police spokesman Captain Guot Guot said the convict has been transferred to Wau prison where he will be hanged.
“Sabir was transported yesterday 10th June 2022 under escort of all security agencies in the state to Wau main prison to wait for execution,” said captain Guot in the press statement.
“It came to our notice that the legal procedures that the authorities are putting in place have been derailed with devastating rumors in regards to Abuk Lual Lual case. And to assure you, the crimes Sabir committed aren’t condoned by anyone including the police.
“We are all waiting for legal 15 days of appeal. We reached ten days yesterday without appeal so the procedure toward implementation has to start. Second, we all know that only three states namely, Wau, Juba and Malakal fall under legal category of execution, death execution.”
He further said that the inmate will be placed live upon the consent of the prison authority.
