Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan security forces have deported a South Sudanese government critic and activist who has been vocal against the government of President Salva Kiir Mayardit, family sources and friends say.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post this evening, Angelina Marol \u2013 wife of activist and government critic Morris Mabior Awikjok \u2013 said her husband was arrested in Nairobi on Thursday last week by men she said were in Kenyan police uniform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came here at night and knocked the door. We didn\u2019t want to open it because they might turn out to be criminals and when we realized that they are police, we opened and then they arrested him without providing him with a warrant or anything,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been asking about him and unfortunate we have learned that he has been taking to South Sudan, Juba, where he is probably being kept at the Blue House (the National Security Service Headquarters) and we haven\u2019t yet spoken to him,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Separately, a source in Juba confirmed that Mabior is currently being detained at the National Security Service (NSS) and that \u201cno information as to when he will be taken to court because I believe anything he is accused off has no basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local newspaper, The Dawn, reported that Mabior was extradited to Juba to face charges, claiming that he has been paid by some unnamed government officials to abuse the government while in Kenya and that he will be arranged in court soon<\/p>\n
