Security personnel in Rumbek Town on Saturday detained South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation or SSBC journalist.
Cameraman Gabriel Mabor Marual Chawul says Governor John Deng Mamer Yuol ordered security personal to arrest him at around 4:47 PM.
Mabor says the governor accused him of coming late to cover Malith-Ager-Gum feeder road construction launch in Rumbek.
‘The function was first suspended by the governor in the morning due to expected downpour that came with heavy wind’, he notes.
SSBC Journalist is still under detention at CID office for two days through the orders of Governor John Deng Mamer Yuol.
The governor denied him right to bail, warning people that anyone who will bail him out must face consequences.
Gabriel Mabor Marual Chawul has formerly worked with Radio Rumbek 98 FM before being contracted by SSBC.
CRN could not reach the state government for comments on the matter.
