Spy chief’s wife promises to kill over damning audio linking husband to Nhial Deng Nhial’s removal 

JUBA – Wife of South Sudan’s Director-General of National Security Service (NSS) General Akol Koor Kuc is promising to kill people she identifies as ‘evildoers’ after an audio discussing her husband’s magical links to the removal of presidential affairs minister Nhial Deng Nhial surfaced on a Jieng WhatsApp group.

According to the audio, it is alleged that General Akol Koor sent some of his close aides to a village in Warrap to get a sorcerer to Juba in order to perform magic so that President Salva Kiir Mayardit could remove Nhial Deng Nhial.

This was allegedly motivated by speculations that General Akol Koor was not being allowed by Nhial Deng Nhial, who was the minister in the office of the president at the time, to meet Kiir.

In the audio involving two men speaking in Dinka, one person could be heard asking the other how much it takes them to return to the village where General Akol Koor allegedly brought them to Juba for the magic performance.

Reacting to the social media circulation of the audio, General Akol Koor’s youngest wife, Atoch Matthew Mathiang threatened to kill those circulating the audio saying it is a defamation against her family.

“These evildoers should have been dead immediately after this malice,” she said of those circulating the audio. “These culprits Mayom Kur Mum and Malok Deng Ater with their assistants are mortal enemies to many members of my great family.”

She promised in the post that has so far been deleted on her Facebook profile that the two men involved in the audio will “pay the price in nothing than their sinful bodies which will eventually deteriorate until they are no longer seen unless I am not a true daughter of Mathew Mathiang!”

Reports of detention

According to reports circulating on social media, Paul Mayom Kur – one of the people speaking in the audio – has now been detained and has allegedly disappeared from a Juba police custody that was not identified.

One person wrote on Facebook that Kur was “arrested on 13/4/2021 at a police detention facility in Juba but disappeared the other day until.”

Sudans Post could not confirm the authenticity of the rumor.
