Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudan lawmaker representing one of the constituencies in Warrap state has been detained at Juba prison after declining an order by Warrap Governor Gen. Aleu Anyieny to resign from the main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny and join Kiir\u2019s ruling party.<\/p>\n

According to an opposition official, MP Mark Anei Mading was arrested on Friday after a brief meeting with Governor Aleu at his residence in Juba in which the governor slapped the lawmaker after refusing to respect an instruction to declare his allegiance from First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar\u2019s opposition group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey presented their list of five people who were nominated, and then the governor told them that he wanted only one person to be on the list,\u201d a Warrap citizen identified as Cirilo Kuol Dut, told the City Review Newspaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told them that they are youths and all from one side, and the group replied that it did not matter whether they were young [because] they were representing the community and they asked the Governor to consider their request,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Dut said things escalated when the governor slapped the lawmaker for refusing to abandon the SPLM-IO and then ordered his bodyguards to run after him after fleeing the compound and then flogging him after catching him where he was later on taken to Juba prison.<\/p>\n

But for his part, Governor Aleu said, when contacted by the Review, said the lawmaker went to the governor\u2019s house to attack him and that there was no any truth to what is being said that the lawmaker was detained for refusing to join the SPLM under President Salva Kiir Mayardit.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came to attack me in my house, and I did not have an appointment with him; he came with about six people to my house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
