A sixteen-year-old girl\u2019s ear has been reportedly chopped off by her uncle for refusing to cease worshipping God with the Seventh Day Adventist church in Warrap State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video circulating on social media saws a girl who identified herself as Achol Mabiel narrating the incident that happened in September 2022 which shocked the netizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to go for prayers but when I came back; my uncle do ask me where I was coming from? And I replied I went to worship God\u201d Achol said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy uncle said what God? That I can\u2019t see and he told me that he doesn\u2019t need that God but I didn\u2019t listen and I continued to go to the church\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achol lamented that her uncle whom she identified as Mr. Wol Mabiel then battered, and burnt her books including the Bible, and told her to stop attending masses with the Seventh Day Adventist church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe [my uncle] beat me and pierced my feet with spear so that I will not go to church but I still go there, so he continued assaulting me and that forced me to leave the house to Tonj North [to uncle house – Makuach],\u201d Achol said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, she joined church because her siblings were sick that\u2019s why she devoted time to SDA for God\u2019s intervention; she asserted that her uncle is making her life hard and unbearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI cannot live this life for the reason that he [my uncle] force things like alcohol, marriage etc. He beat me because I didn\u2019t go to dances or braid my hair that kind of person will bring life to you, it\u2019s better to kill you because if girls drink and go to dances where is life,\u201d Achol mourned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Wol Mayom, the Warrap state minister of Information confirmed the incident but said it happened a long way before his appointment, asserting they are doing awareness to local residents in regards to co-existence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister Mayom added that the law is taking its course and justice must prevail, he also appealed to the residents to inform police and not to take the law into their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the detention of the journalist who interviewed the young girl \u2013 Mr. Agany Malleher of Dalwuot media, the minister said the scribe was not arrested because of his media work but due to car incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not true, I heard that the journalist was actually detained on other bases according to the investigation \u2013 the journalist took somebody\u2019s car and he got involved in accident\u201d said the minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause of that accident the owner of the car told him to pay 1,100 US dollars, in the process the money was not paid and the owner of the car opened the case against the journalist\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 27 October, Salva Mathok, a lawmaker hailing from Warrap allegedly ordered the burning of the Seventh Day Adventist church in Akeer-Abuok village, Gogrial East County in Warrap state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MP Mathok accused the pastors of preaching against \u201cpaying homage to other deities except for the God of Bible\u201d a creed that did not sit well with the neighborhood, which are engaged in traditional African forms of worship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
