Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan security forces have this morning arrested the country\u2019s minister of mining Gen. Martin Abucha who was travelling to the Ugandan district of Adjumani where he was expected to participate in a funeral rite for a family member who had passed away, a SPLA-IO general has said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Brig. Gen. Okeny George M. Lam, the SPLA-IO\u2019s Anyanya Division Commander at Ashwa Cantonment site said the incident occurred at 7:30 Am on Saturday and the security forces who intercepted the minister on his way slapped him violently before he was driven to the place where he is still being detained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis morning at 7:30 am, the government Security forces at Loa, followed up the National Minister of Mining and intercepted him in Nimule. Violently they slapped him two times at the scene of the event before they were driven off. The minister was on his way to Adjumani district-Uganda for Funeral Rite,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The senior SPLA-IO military officer further said the minister was currently being \u201cdetained at Loa barrack under Command of Lt. Col. Atem Mading\u201d adding that he was being detained along with bodyguards Lt. Col. Diliga James, Capt. Madile Charles, Pvt. Anyazo Patrick and his driver Lagu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is purely a deliberate violation notwithstanding the Immunity the National Minister must enjoy. I call for an investigation by CTSAMMVM into this barbaric act by the commander in charge,\u201d the SPLA-IO officer said.<\/p>\n

He said the government security officer who has detained the minister \u201cMading and those behind him has been repeatedly violating the R-ARCSS implementation without holding him accountable. This is unfortunate and must be treated as a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n
