Tensions are escalating rapidly within South Sudan’s political and security circles following reports that Gen. Paul Nang has ordered the immediate arrest of Hon. Michael Makuei Lueth. The directive reportedly came just moments ago, sparking intense speculation and concern across both government and military ranks.
While the exact circumstances surrounding the arrest order remain unclear, preliminary reports from security sources suggest that the confrontation may be linked to an earlier incident involving a blocked convoy that was escorting the body of a deceased individual to Bor Town. Hon. Makuei Lueth was said to be among the officials accompanying the convoy when the situation reportedly turned chaotic.
Unconfirmed accounts indicate that the incident led to a heated standoff between local forces and the officials in the convoy, further aggravating existing tensions between the two senior leaders. Observers are warning that this latest development could signal a serious rift within the government’s top leadership, potentially carrying significant political and security implications.
Meanwhile, sources on the ground report that Hon. Makuei Lueth has taken refuge inside a vehicle (“dababa”), allegedly awaiting the arrival of reinforcement units from Juba. Medical teams at Juba Teaching Hospital have confirmed that at least one wounded individual from the earlier confrontation has already been admitted for emergency treatment.
Authorities in Juba have not yet issued an official statement regarding the unfolding events, but eyewitnesses describe the atmosphere as highly volatile, with security deployments intensifying around key government and military installations.
