June 28, 2017 (JUBA) - The office of South Sudan’s First Vice
President Taban Deng Gai on Wednesday dismissed media reports that its
security guards assaulted a young lady in the country’s capital, Juba
on Saturday.

Tinna Ariing Madut was reportedly dragged out of her car and beaten by
the security guards who accused her of bad driving near Gai’s
residence.

It all happened when Madut allegedly approached a check point at the
First Vice President’s residence while driving a vehicle with full
lights on.

Lam Chuol, the First Vice-President spokesperson, said their
preliminary reports showed Madut was under influence of alcohol.

“According to the investigation, Tinna came around 3:00 am from a
night club near the residence of the first vice president, so she was
asked by the security to dim the lights but in the process when she
was being asked, she became agitated because she was intoxicated,”
Chuol said in a statement extended to Sudan Tribune.

He, however, claimed none of the guards at the check point beat up Madut.

According to Chuol, injuries inflicted on the lady resulted from an
attempt to jump out of a car she drove at the time of the incident.

“Ms. Tinna is welcome to initiate legal proceeding in the courts of
law against these said security personnel who, if found guilty, are
not immune to facing the full extent of the law,” stressed the
statement.

The First Vice-President’s office, however, renewed its commitment to
continued cooperation with the media, but encouraged media houses to
refrain from “tabloid type reporting” and instead continue to practice
professionalism with independence.

because of your Culture. She has no right to call you Nuerwew even
though you deserve it

The courts are packed with hey stack of cases unattended to due to
strike by the judges. Where can this woman find justice? Tinna, you
are lucky your case managed to appear in the media, what about those
who were raped, tortured, killed, forcefully displaced? It started
from the outside, it will end in the inside - the house of the
president!
