JUBA – A local journalist in South Sudan working for the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) has told Sudans Post Thursday that Unity state governor Nguen Manytuil Wijang had detained him for over 14 hours on Wednesday over rumors that the governor was being fired by President Salva Kiir Mayardit and that the journalist contributing to the president’s decision with ‘lies’.

Mayin Riam Yok, a SSBC journalist based in Juba and who is sometime attached to the governor’s office, said he was detained at a police station in Juba upon orders of the governor on Wednesday from 8 AM to 9:30 PM, but was later on released after intervention of information minister Michael Makuei Lueth.

“There was rumors that the governor was being fired by the president and without investigating whether these rumors are true or lies, he rushed and concluded that I was talking against him and that is contributing to his removal from office and then I was arrested and then detained at a police custody here in Juba,” Mayin said.

“I wouldn’t have been released from the jail had it not been the intervention of honorable minister of information and the spokesman of the government Michael Makuei Lueth because they were told by the minister if they can’t make a case against me there was no any justification for me remaining under their detention and then I was released,” he added.

South Sudan government has grown hostile to journalists in recent years with several journalist being detained without due process or even killed.

    “SSBC journalist says Unity state governor detained him over rumored dismissal” These are the low lives who claim to be journalists, the government of South Sudan should have have just hanged the low life like many other foreign puppets/stooges who are paid pitants by their lowly educated foreign agents on the ‘guise of working with South Sudanese journalists to exchange views’.

    Our South Sudanese fools, read these links’ fools:

    We are the ‘Ancient Egyptian fools’. Let any lowly informed ‘South Sudanese fool’ ever ever again *evil white Americans, their evil English people, their cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, some of their Bantuses, their gulf Arab states financiers, their UN, their sleazy NGOs, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs; their Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and some of their creeps in between who have attached themselves to our country and over our people again*.

    And that South Sudanese fool would be as good as dead, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.

    Ww3 is going to start here in South Sudan and we are going to bomb these vermins/parasites out of map, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
