Eastern Equatoria State Minister of Information Mark Akio says the state government has no knowledge about missing South Sudanese journalist Clement Lochio.
“We don’t have enough information, we don’t have information. If the family of the missing journalist accuses security service of kidnapping their son, then I don’t have something to say,” Akio said.
Lochio, who works for Gurtong Trust, was allegedly kidnapped by security agents in the Chukudum area of Budi County last week, according to relatives. Clement’s family told Radio Tamazuj that one of the men was released and the other was found dead.
