JUBA – South Sudan’s National Security Service has detained a senior member of the country’s main armed opposition Sudan people’s Liberation Army in Opposition (SPLA-IO) in Western Bahr el Ghazal state’s capital Wau.

According to his wife Farida Francis, Brigadier-General Oliver Vilario Osman of the Western Bahr el Ghazal Lions of the SPLA-IO, went missing after leaving the house on Wednesday morning in Wau town.

“A while after he left, I received a phone call that he had been arrested. He was taken by a group of people and we don’t know his whereabouts yet,” the wife said in an interview with Radio Tamazuj.

“Since yesterday, Tuesday, his phone has been switched off, and we went to the headquarters of the security to find out his whereabouts, but they said they did not know his whereabouts,” she adds.

For his part, SPLA-IO commander Brigadier General Charles Louis Juma said the opposition commander was arrested at midnight in Wau by members of the National Security Service and said they still remain not informed of reasons behind his arrest.

“We do not know the reason for his arrest. What happened is that a lieutenant named Fasco Michael, of the National Security, met Brigadier General Oliver, inside the forex bureau in the market, and the lieutenant took the brigadier to an unknown place,” he said.

“We are partners in the peace agreement, and they had to inform the party to which officer Oliver Osman belongs if there was a problem because he is a member of the movement. How Oliver was arrested is illegal and it affects the agreement because it is unethical,” Charles said.

    “BREAKING | High-ranking SPLA-IO officer arrested by national security in Wau”

    Mr. Salva Kiir and his bunch of lowly informed advisors, have let our country and our people bullied by low lives. Mr. Salva Kiir, Riek Machar and have to tell the south Sudanese people and white people, what they went and ‘learned in Rome when they were invited by Pope Francis, a former Argentinian piece of trash: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwij8_XDvKnyAhUaT30KHcngCVAQFnoECAMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2019%2F04%2F11%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fpope-francis-south-sudan.html&usg=AOvVaw2oX8Xl8yqzBfSVIepYtIoN

    Mr. Riek Machar came back to South Sudan and refused to come to South Sudan. But to be persuaded from Kiirtoum (Khartoum) to come to South Sudan.

    Mr. Riek Machar, Lam Akol, Majak Agoot, Pagan Amum, Rebecca Nyandeng, his her ugly son, Mabior Rebecca Nyandeng, Uyai Deng Ajak and some of their tubbissh here in region have step on on wrong people.

    Mr. Salva Kiir weakness has been exploited by our enemies. South South Sudanese people have paid a very heavy politcial bluander. But this time, Abesh (so-called so-called ethiopia) prostitute, our cloned so-called Arab of North Sudan, some of their rubbish in Kenya, Rwanda must be WIPE BE OUT MAP, reasons, PURE HATRED and RACISM. We have asked Malual Giernyang, Tonj and Ngok Dinka communities, to take a rest. And Let Upper Nille play ball with our enemies. If it going to be very hard, then, we call to come and help us. The nuers lawlessness and their protectors are known. The US, the UK, the UN, African Union (the AU), the IGAD, the evil juus (so-called israelis), gulf Arab states are going to be bombed to ‘near extinction/oblivion, reaosns, pure HATRED and RACISM.

    Where is mere Pope Francis? in Rome? Follows us.
