SPLA-IO troops allied to former First Vice President Riek Machar said that they are holding the commissioner of Nagero County in Western Equatoria.
On 17 May, six officials including Commissioner Balia Digido went missing after fighting in the area of Nagero. But the area’s executive director and three others returned to the area on May 28.
Major Bafuka John, spokesman for SPLA-IO sector commander in Western Equatoria region, told Radio Tamazuj today that the commissioner of Nagero County is fine and that he is staying with them.
His brother Gude Didigo said earlier that Balia was still missing and that they are concern about his health condition.
