Division 5 commanders in Western Bahr El Ghazal state, capital Wau released the 19 staff to the government of Warrap State on Monday, and Warrap State Minister of Cabinet Affairs Hon. Acuil Malai Aliap received them on behalf of H.E Amb. Bol Wek Agoth, the governor of Warrap State
The cited personnel were arrested at various checkpoints in the state by Division 11 command on 13"h of June 2025. The just released staff were directed by the government of Warrap State to carry out security checks at the bridges notably in Makuei-Karsit Tonj Town and Tharkueng Bridges. However, the Division 11 command was not informed before the directive and this resulted in a misunderstanding, which led to the arrest.
The government of Warrap State acknowledged the inconveniences caused by this misunderstanding and extended appreciation firstly to the National Minister of Defense, Chief of Defense Force, H.E Governor of Warrap State and finally to the Commands of Division 11 and 5 for accepting our apologies, and subsequently, released the personnel in question.
