According to an official letter dated 2nd September 2025, lawyer Josephine Adhet Deng filed a case against Majur under Sections 245 and 289 of the Penal Code Act, 2008, which criminalize acts of intimidation and defamation respectively. The complaint, which has already been registered with the prosecution office, prompted the issuance of a police warrant for his arrest.
The warrant instructs law enforcement to apprehend Majur and present him before the officer in charge of the designated police station. “You are hereby directed to arrest the said person and bring him before the crime officer in charge of the police station,” the warrant reads.
The allegations stem from an audio recording that recently surfaced on social media. In the widely circulated clip, Majur is purportedly heard in a heated verbal exchange with a woman, which the complainant claims amounted to intimidation and defamatory remarks.
The viral audio has fueled public debate online, with many demanding accountability from high-ranking officials in government positions.
Despite the directive, the Office of the Chief Administrator in the Presidency, to whom the request was addressed, has not yet issued an official response. It remains unclear whether the presidency will hand over Majur to law enforcement authorities or contest the warrant.
The case could test the independence of South Sudan’s judicial system, particularly when it involves senior government officials.
As of Tuesday, Majur has not commented on the accusations, and efforts to reach him for a response were unsuccessful.
