Warrap Governor orders arrest of security agents behind arrest of MP

August 25, 2011 (JUBA)- The governor of Warrap state, Nyandeng Malek Deliech, on Thursday issued a gubernatorial directive ordering the arrest of the security agents alleged to have participated in the arrest and torture of a Member of Parliament.

The order came following reports that a member of the State Legislative Assembly from Tonj North county, Dominic Deng Mayom Akeen, was apprehended at around 7.00pm in Kuacjok, Warrap state, on 23 August, by armed security elements who took him to a nearby military barracks.

Members of the assembly in series of interviews with Sudan Tribune on Wednesday said their colleague was manhandled by the security personnel as he was being driven to the detention centre where relatives and family members said he was held for one night.

Akeen was released the following day after the house convened a session at which a resolution demanding his immediate release and an explanation for the events was passed.

The MP accused Nyandeng of ordering his arrest due to the release of a statement in the media attributed to him, about the prevalence of malnutrition in the area, leading to the death of 358 people, predominantly those who recently returned from North Sudan.

On Thursday the governor formed a security committee tasked with investigating the arrest and alleged torture of Akeen by security personnel acting on Nyandeng’s instructions. The committee is reportedly chaired by the security advisor Apuk Akot Madut and has three suspects.

The parliament is reported to have formed a five member committee under the chair of the parliamentary security affairs committee to conduct independent research into the arrest.

A member of the committee, Ariec Ariec was “surprised” that their investigations were being hampered as they were being denied access to the suspects by their commanding officer, in contravention of article 79 of the state assembly act.

James Achi, a security advisor to the state governor said he was “not aware” of allegations that access to the suspects was being denied, but would investigate the matter.

    Dinka people including Nyandeng or Ngundeng have to know that MPS got immune status therefore they are not supposed to arrested anywhere in the country.
    Unless Dinka Law is being behind this situation.

    The only solution from both counties which are Gogrial and Tonj is to make them separate States otherwise, such unlawful and too much disagreement will cause more problems betweem Gorgrial county and Tonj County. Tonj County must be separating, because there are people who can not listen particular, on the Gogrial side.

    Dear People of Warrap;
    Your Governor is participating in a wrong Game. How come the Governor order arrest of Security agents behind the arest of MP Deng Mayomdit when she was the primary suspect who was behind the arest and torture of MP of Tonj North Constituency? That is a joke. She should form the committee to go and obtain the arrest warrant signed by her to effect arrest and torture of the said from the Security agents as an immediate first step to invasitigating the arrest and torture of MP. Secondly, Security agent should first be identified who are those and whose instructions the arrest was effected? In the absence of those two evidence steps taken, the Governor then order the arrest of Head of Security only and not Security agents. She need to be specific. Now, i was soliciting with her yesterday but now, i prove that Ladies in power are after killing men who are in politics. Awut made assasination attempt last year against Mulana Aleu Ayieny and now Nyandeng Malek is another suspect in assasination attempts. These type of behavior must be stop.

    Now, do not led Whole of Tonj Constituencies feel that they are a tail of politics. They should be accorded with respect and political participation. This issue is not related to politics at all. It is a human concerned and the Governor should be the one concerned about the death of her people.

    Now, Please the nominated committee, just review your terms of reference related to this invastigation and then led them be ammended and only find out the arrest warrant of an MP and if not, the Governor should shoulder the responsibility.

    Nyandeng should not fool people of Warrap. It’s clear that Nyandeng ordered Hon.Deng arrest after he release truth statement to the media about hunger.

    If Nyandeng think she have meal four times a day, others are fighting to get one meal a day.
    God is seeing things done in a darkness,,

    Guys let us not drive out of point, We are not talking about Tonj,gogrial or Dinka as whole but talking issues between Deng and Nyandeng.

    This is a complicated case for the governor Nyadeng Malek. How come she orders the arrest for her state MP and at the same time order the arrest for security agents who detain the MP? That is ridiculous characters behaving like a small animal call fox.
    We shall get convince from the governor if she can manage to arrest the security agents who hijack the MP for detention without justifiable reason. That will tell us justice has been done. Otherwise the governor was playing a cunning game over the state MP.
    Remember politics is a dirty game.

    At first let me congratulate the Warrap State Assembly for the firm action to summons the state governor, and I would also like to thank the state governor comrade Nyadeng for accepting the summon and showed up at the assembly, not just that, the governor restored law and order by calling for arrest of security officer. What Nyandeng demonstrated is a lawful practice, MPs are constitutional post holders, they represents “people” and that alone should be respected. It is ok for security to arrest but follow proper procedures where applicable before taking short cut!

    Cheers!

    This old lady is confused, she instructed the security agents to tortured and arrested Hon.Deng again she is still continuing adding more offenses by ordering the same security agents to be arrested. Governor elect should not fool her own citizens at a bright day light.

    Aleu should understand that the issue is not between Gogrial and Tonj as he put it. Why are your people killing themselves in Tonj alone? Is that something to do with Gogrial? Be logical when dealing with such affairs of our people. After all, we don’t have Gogrial or Tonj counties in Warrap state. Revise your primary school geograpy my friend.

    Folks;
    It’s a cold case now. She issue an arrest warrant for Pm Deng & she issue an arrest warrant again for security agent, case closed. Those Security agent will never be arrested because they were just following her orders. Otherwise, How can a prime suspect be left alone just because she re-directed you to arrest someone else.

    Nyadeng is a suspect & because she said Security agent must be arrested then the public/parliament will acquited her and arrest innocent people

    Nyandeng the woman Governor is playing the hide and seek game with Deng Mayomdit and we all are aware of her foolishness in the management of the state affairs.

    This is rubbish, there is no good reason of ordering an arrest of security agent which alleged to behind the arrest of the MP. Yes committee is to be formed but through her interest as we know in her selfishness and stupidity.

    Thank you Nyandeng you now learn how to dodge people from one way or another by denying every point like
    Firstly, you denied that there is no hunger gap in Warrap state and then secondly, you again denied that you are not the one orders the arrest of the Mp but you said to be security agent send by whom? I think by you the woman governor. Shame on you tik/woman.

    In the photograph that you the commentators see here being downloaded by the Writer of Sudantribune is the office of the Ministry of Rural Water and Cooperation, the newest ministry to be created by late June 2010 and good enough the man of development Sabino Makana Akol made as you have all see being see it. And now she evacuate all her government to that office instead of building the State House and Council of Minister. She was moving from Prisons Hqrs in Kuajok to Minister of Rural Water and Cooperation and later to Ministry of Finance because she wanted to in a good concrete office and she doesn,t want to build her office alone like other ministries.

    Madingthith a man of Justices,Accountability and Transparency.
    Next Governor in 2020 in Warrap State.

    This a an absurd way of wasting the people of Warrap money and time. At this crucial time state legislators should hold hearings on how to improve agriculture, security, and how to create jobs for the people of Warrap. What a sad day! Warrap government members, please grow up.

    WARAP ASSIGN A COUNSELOR TO MR. ALEU.
    Warap, I think mr. Aleu, need help here in order to have a sensible mind of reasoning. I’m not here to degrade him, but want somebody like counselor to help him. I’m sick and tired of this inept reptile, who don’t even have a clue of how modern politics are played.

    Mr. Aleu seem to be confused, and bewilder to the extend that he cannot differentiate of what a state is. I know there are problems in where he claimed to be from, is that gogrial causing it? or is he going to create another state of his boma?, otherwise, you people of Warap need to stay away from such thick headed individuals, because they are always dangerous. This person is desperate, and if you people of Warap are not careful, he may one day resort to what those of Geoge Athor doing to the republic. Mark my words

    Big thank you Maroof 08/27/2011
    Warap, we need jobs,build schools, clinics, and put more emphasis on agriculture. I thank you Maroof, and we, the people of Warap need to work hard in order to curb hunger. I thought that our elected officials should be in the forefront fighting hunger in their constituencies, but instead resorted to a name calling and coruption. It is shamful for this great state of ours, to be cited by others as a failed state. We are watching, and the time to fire you all, is near.

    Governor Nyandeng,I know that you inherit nothing when you took office from the previous administration, and people of Warap were hoping that you will be different from them. You did try to change the shape of Kuacjok which is our capital, by building the state house which was something I personally applauded for,but unfortunately, the recent report of our people dying of hunger in your watch was stuning. MPS, it is shame to let your people died of hunger at the time we just hard our independence. This is a national shame to all of us, and there need to be somebody hold responsbile.

    @ Anei Matungphat,

    I believe you know the doctrine of common law and where it is applicable and also believe you understand the principles of trespasses, malicious and defamations when referring to a person. Hon. Governor Madam Nyandeng Malek is not a suspect or a suspect untill you prove in the process taken to reality.

    I am just writing to inform you if you happen to forgot the possible ways of judging others. This is public place and when you mention the name of some one you believed to be a suspect, then you need to provide us the material facts of your finding and the nation will move on in the collective effort.

    The laws are there, the arrest of the security personale will not let grows us nerves, panicking and put us under intense pressure of argument. Let’s contribute toward the development of our country. Look, I am very much disappointed by Mr. Aleu you see the way he took the issue is much far different to the topic. Gogrial and Warrap are difference things. Gogrial is in Warrap and Tonj also is in Warrap state.
    Now, where is the point here to let him talk of separating Tonj from Gogrial since both are separate counties under one Warrap state?

    I hope he will not use such words another day to create differences among our people.

    To my knowledge, it should be the police laying the charges, and consequently making the arrest. Otherwise, who will make the arrest if the governor broke the law?
    Cops should be well trained, educated and highly trained to carry out their duties. Security officers must follow the law in making arrest, and abusing their powerso. In the end, let us learn a lesson from what has happen in”Warrap,” and never let it happen else where.
