Reverend Simon Kwajie who was the main Priest in All Saints and Matyrs church was kidnapped on the 5th of March by security forces described by witnesses as speaking in Dinka language. The security forces told the priest they just wanted to talk to him about something.

Rev Kwajie’s was badly tortured with his whole body showing bruises, he was killed and then dumped by the security forces on the Juba-Yei road only to be found by civilians who were passing by.

According to close friends and family, Kwajie was kidnapped abut 5 days ago, since then he was not heard from, many thought the army wanted his help but never did they think they would torture him and killed him.

“…this is really a total shock, how do you kidnap and torture and murder a priest? a church leader we murder?…I thought the president said it was time for peace?…this is more than abomination” said Joseph Taban, a citizen from Juba who had attended the National Day of Prayers called by Kiir.

Rev Simon Kwajie’s torture and murder has sent shockwaves across Yei and South Sudan in general just two days after President Kiir pleaded for forgiveness and repentance saying it was time for South Sudanese to make peace.

“I humbly repent and ask for your loving mercy and forgiveness.”  President Kiir said during the National day of prayers taking many by surprise.
