Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The national police spokesperson has clarified that he did not confirm the release of the former mayor of Juba, Kalisto Ladu, adding that he was only referring to social media reports.<\/p>\n

Major General Daniel Justin said his previous statement to Eye Radio was taken \u2018out of context\u2019 and claimed that he only heard about Kalisto\u2019s release from online sources.<\/p>\n

According to General Justin, the police have no information about Kalisto\u2019s whereabouts or the identities of those detaining him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard on social media that he has been released, but I cannot confirm or deny these words. I heard from social media that I made statements saying the former mayor was released. These words are not true,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Justin stressed that Mr. Kalisto is not in police custody and the institution has not received any reports regarding the case of the detained former mayor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no information and I did not say that he was released because if he had been with us in the police, I would have followed the procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kalisto, a former major of Juba, was apprehended while returning home at Hai Kuwait in Juba on March 30, 2024, according to his family.<\/p>\n

His wife Ann Grace said security forces moving in a convoy of vehicles apprehended Kalisto, adding that two vehicles appeared in National Security\u2019s colors, accompanied by a tinted white Toyota Harrier.<\/p>\n

It is now 15 days since the former mayor of Juba was apprehended, and no relevant government institution has issued an official statement on his whereabouts or his crime.<\/p>\n

Previously, Justin made a statement to Eye Radio that \u201che is said to have been released\u201d in reference to Kalisto \u2013 but he now maintains that his statement was referring to social media reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is said to have been released, and in his house now. This is according to the information that I have heard on social media since yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the former official\u2019s disappearance, Eye Radio reached out to both the police spokesperson and NSS spokespersons a number of times.<\/p>\n

But neither the police spokesperson nor the NSS spokesperson provided any clear information regarding Kalisto\u2019s location and condition.<\/p>\n
