Teresa Nyanawan Ayom, wife of detained Lakes State MP Marik Nanga Marik, says that her husband has not committed any crime and she is asking the national government to immediately intervene to release her husband and his colleague Isaac Makur Buoc Apac without precondition.
The two lawmakers were detained in October last year by state security agents. Nyanawan Ayom says she has not heard from her husband in the last nine months, and is pleading for their release.
Speaking over Radio Miraya she said, “My husband is not doing any crime – it is just misunderstanding between the governor and these two MPs. They are not really doing any criminal thing.”
She lamented, “Now there is no one who has come in because I knocked at all the doors. I knocked all the doors of SPLM – no one. I went to the president’s office but I could not get the president because people refuse for me to see the president because of my situation and the situation of Marik because I don’t know where my husband is.”
The two MPs were allegedly arrested on the orders of Major-General Matur Chut Dhuol, but he has denied this.
