The Ugandan security agency releases South Sudanese controversial businessman Lawrence Lual Malong Yoor Jr. He was arrested in his hotel in Kampala on 14/11/2018. The disappearance of Malong sparked many theories on social media


Now Lual has confirmed that the Ugandan security forces detained him. He said that he was not investigated or charged. He, however, said that he was treated well and cared for the last 50 days at the ISO facility. 

"The Ugandan internal security arrested me on the 14/11/2018, and they kept me there until today. The kept me in a safe place and gave me food of my choice. While under arrest, they have asked me generic questions on why I posted videos on social media 'showering myself with money?' There was no particular investigation about my business in Uganda that they asked and even if they were to ask, I wouldn't answer because it is not their role. It is the role of police especially CID to investigate me. I was sure that I had done nothing wrong. I just told to go and like did they did when they picked me up in Nov. They drove me back to my hotel, but I have to be sincere that they never said anything wrong or even mistreated me in any way."
