"It’s a Credible Source": SPLM-IO Claims There Is a Plot to Kill Detained Leader Riek Machar

South Sudan's main opposition party, SPLM-IO, has raised alarm over what it says is a plan to assassinate its detained leader, Dr. Riek Machar. 

The party says it received information from a reliable source but did not provide evidence to support the claim.

The allegation was made in an urgent statement released on Friday by Oyet Nathaniel, the acting chairman of SPLM-IO. 

According to the statement, the alleged plot could take place while President Salva Kiir is away from the capital, Juba, on a visit to the Bahr el Ghazal region.

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, Oyet said the information came from a source in Juba but refused to reveal the person's identity.

"You want my source? I will not tell you my source," Oyet said. "It's a credible source. Reliable source."READ FULL STORY HERE.
