Security operatives arrested a senior medical doctor in Wau Teaching Hospital on alleged links to Wau’s December deadly protests.
James Angelo Marcello, paediatrician and director for Leprosy and TB at Wau Teaching Hospital, was arrested last Tuesday at Wau North Court.A source in the Hospital told Voice of Hope that the doctor was arrested without prior notice.
The source said two doctors from the hospital were arrested by the security personnel since December and their services were much needed in the hospital due to its low numbers of doctors.
Another source said Dr Angelo was arrested on charges linked to Wau’s December protests.
He was accused of having a hand behind the violence during the protest and he is now under police custody.
