He says he opened a police case after the botched eviction.<\/p>\n<p>According to Soka, in yet another attempt to evict him on 22 September, security officers from the state secretariat, with directives from Governor Adil and former Central Equatoria State Housing Minister Flora Jibril, went into the house while he was away, broke in, destroyed his property and went away with SSP 24 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came when I was in Gondokoro Island for funeral rites. At around 4:30 pm, I heard that some forces from the Central Equatoria Government Secretariat went to the house, broke in, and destroyed all my furniture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Soka revealed that when he learned of the governor\u2019s plans to have him evicted, he wrote to Presidential Affairs Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin and the minister of roads and bridges, Simon Mijok Mijak, who wrote to stop the eviction, which communication he says was disregarded.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Soka\u2019s lawyer, Stephen Martin Nyichar, said they filed a case in the Juba County Court under civil case number 737\/2022 before Justice David Moses, whose first hearing was set for Thursday but could not proceed because Governor Adil or his representatives were not present in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy client Francis Soka Robano has lost a lot of money from his home during illegal evictions, and some of his properties were damaged and lost,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are in court for him to be reinstated to the home so that he is paid for the losses he incurred during the eviction. Also, we seek payment for moral compensation, and the court should order that we be paid the advocates and the court fees we paid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When contacted about the case, Central Equatoria State Information Minister Adruga Mabe Saverio declined to comment and said Governor Adil will make a statement next week.<\/p>\n<p>The Central Equatoria State government earlier in June ordered the immediate eviction of 27 former constitutional post-holders from the state-owned houses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
