The government of South Sudan has detained six journalists in connection with the circulation of a video footage showing President Salva Kiir wetting himself.

The six remained detained at the National Security Service headquarters, known as Blue House, according to a statement by the Union of Journalists of South Sudan on Friday evening.

Patrick Oyet, the president of the South Sudan Union of Journalists, told Reuters that the journalists “are suspected of having knowledge on how the video of the president urinating himself came out”.

In the third week of December, a video appearing to show Kiir urinating on himself in public circulated on social media.

Though South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) claimed it did not broadcast the footage, the video still became public material. The incarcerated journalists are SSBC staff.

Michael Makuei, South Sudan’s information minister, itted that the journalists were arrested but told Voice of America that people had to wait to know why they were detained.

“Authorities’ arrests of six employees of the South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation matches a pattern of security personnel resorting to arbitrary detention whenever officials deem coverage unfavorable,” Muthoki Mumo, the Committee to Protect Journalists (J) sub-Saharan Africa representative, said in an official statement Friday.

Why arresting journalists, they should be released immediately.

The people of South Sudan deserve to know the health condition of their president.

African leaders should stop this kind of behaviour, they hate the truth

Bad African leaders and cover up.

National security’s definition by African security agencies is when something is not in the interests of the president or incumbency.

Something is fundamentally wrong with the black man. See people who are clearly not physically fit to hold public office struggling to grab and continue in power perpetually to the detriment of the people.

There's nothing incoherent or jargon in his comment.

Don't bully a Nairalander who just aired his opinion.

If you're too old for Nairaland get the f out.

Wonders shall never seized

South Sudan president Kir that suffered so much under Al Bashir is today a tyrant of his own?

I'm afraid the same thing might happen next year in Nigeria

Lol. There's a balablue in South Sudan. Africa is cursed with terrible leaders.
Let's drink balablue to celebrate Chelsea's loss.
Chelsea FC ll suffer throughout this year.
Very useless club with lousy fans.
They won't let my babe rest!
