JUBA, JANUARY 12TH 2023 (SUDANS POST) – South Sudan police authorities said on Thursday that they are investigating the disappearance of a former senior government official whose family says was kidnapped after being a set up for arrest at a local hotel in the capital Juba.

Eng. Charles Kisanga, former information minister in Western Equatoria State, was kidnapped at Classic Hotel at Hai Mawona on Wednesday morning after a person identified as Jackson Gamu who was to meet him came with troops to pick him up, according to the former minister’s wife Suzanne Kisanga.

“My husband left in the morning with one of his friends and after they arrived there, someone came with a car, apparently the one who was supposed to have a meeting with him, and asked him to get into a car and they drove him away and never returned to me,” Suzanne told Sudans Post today.

Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, police spokesman Maj. Gen. Daniel Justin said they have received the complaint from Kisanga’s family but then the authorities are still working on establishing circumstances in which he was kidnapped and the possible culprits.

“We have received the information that he disappeared or kidnapped from the family and we are still investigating the circumstance in which he was disappeared or kidnapped, but we can’t talk about it now because it is under investigation,” he said.

It remains unconfirmed as to who is behind Kisanga’s kidnapping. But Sudans Post confirmed from a source that the kidnapper is indeed Jackson Gamu who is a military officer attached to the office of the speaker of parliament and the disappearance comes a week after Kisanga wrote an article in which he criticized Hon. Nunu Kumba.

He described Kumba as “unfit” for the job of speaker of parliament and that her “shame of holding office with so many blunders would even be enough to a really conscious person to just resign to save their dignity and reputation if any was left.”
