Former South African military colonel and advisor to Dr. Riek Machar William John Endley told VOA; that his former colleagues Dong Samuel and Aggrey Idri were briefly detained at South Sudanese National Security’s facility commonly known as Blue House. In an interview with John Tanza of South Sudan in Focus, William revealed the date he believes both Dong Samuel and Aggrey Idri were removed from the facility and taken to unknown location. Since the two went missing in Kenya, South Sudanese Government rejected the call that security agencies were responsible for the alleged abduction.


Kenya also denied any involvement or having any knowledge about the where about of the two men. William John Endless was recently pardoned by President Salva Kiir together with James Gatdet Dak. The new revelation if it is true, will confirm the allegation made against the government by various international organisations since last year. The families of the two men have been asking about what happened to the two? William said that he was not the only person with the knowledge about the presence of Dong and Aggrey in January 2017.

"Aggrey and Dong were in the National Security at Blue House. I didn't see Dong because he was kept downstairs but I saw Aggrey Idri. They were taken away one day, I remember correctly they were taken away on the 27/01/ last year (2017) and up to date we have not seen or heard anything about them. I saw Idri at Blue House and but other people saw Dong. As I said, Dong was there but I didn't see him. They were there for only two days when I heard they were been taken away. Aggrey Idri and Dong were very very well known. The minute they were brought there, they were not seen by only myself but many people."
