A Brigade-four commander in charge of Barpuot military barrack, along with several officers have been arrested in Warrap State following death of seven people in a container detention facility.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This came after at least seven people died of suffocation after being locked up in a 20-foot shipping container without proper ventilation in Kuajok town on Monday.<\/p>\n In an interview with No. 1 Citizen Daily Newspaper<\/em><\/strong>, Warrap State Minister of Information, William Wol Mayom, confirmed the incident, adding that the commander and officers were arrested for investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cThe incident is true, but the suffocation happened actually in the detention of the military barrack, Brigade 4 of Division 11, where the suspects were being arrested by military authorities in the wrong facility without notice from the governor,\u201d said Mayom.<\/p>\n \u201cSwiftly, H.E. Governor Kuol Muor Muor ordered the arrest of Brigade 4 Commander, Officers, and NCOs in charge of Military Barracks, including those on duty during the incident,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n According to him, the deceased were suspects charged with murder and cattle raiding from Tonj North and Gogrial East counties.<\/p>\n He revealed that a one-week investigation committee was formed to examine the tragic deaths of the seven suspects in the military detention facility.<\/p>\n \u201cThe committee is headed by the Division (11) Commander and deputized by the Warrap State Attorney General. All Warrap State security agencies are members,\u201d Mayom continued.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Mr. Mayom condemned in the strongest terms the unfortunate deaths of the seven people and urged calm as the government dug out the root cause of the incident.<\/p>\n \u201cOn behalf of the Warrap government and on my own behalf, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the grieving families who have lost their loved ones in the tragic military detention container,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n He further disputed an allegation that the container was at the state house, citing that the governor\u2019s residence doesn\u2019t have a container or a detention facility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By William Madouk A Brigade-four commander in charge of Barpuot military barrack, along with several officers have been arrested in Warrap State following death of seven people in a container detention facility.
