Mayen Wol: "This case is between John Agou and his brother Athorbei Gaddafi"

2 min read

“All these allegations made against me were baseless,” said Mayen Wol, former chief administrator at the presidency, speaking to the high court on Monday. “The auditor’s reports proved that there was no money got in my package or under my name.”

Mayan said that the prosecution documents presented by auditors to the court are ‘incomplete’ and biased. He said the prosecution opened the cases on the basis of an unconfirmed fabricated intelligence report from a junior officer called ‘Athorbei Gaddafi’.

“I would like to say something short about this case. The story of this case is between John Agou and his brother Athorbei Gaddafi who is an in-law to the president,” he said.

John Agou is one of the accused, a former security officer and administrative officer at the presidency, who was detained last year by National Security.

Mayen said Athorbei Gaddafi had a company before that supplied office stationary to the presidency from 2011 to 2013. But in 2013, Gaddafi was arrested by the National Security.

While Gaddafi was in prison, his brother John Agou established his own company that started also supplying office items to the Office of President, where Agou also found work.

Mayen recounted that by the time Gaddafi was released from the detention, he was not happy with his brother Agou for taking his job of supplying office items.

“Gaddafi did two things, first he wrote something on the Internet that there is 12 million USD amount stolen in the office of president and me (Mayen), Yel Luol and John Agou has taken the money,” he said.

Mayan said Gaddafi also went to Nairobi, Kenya where he made fabrications that he and others stole money, and he brought the intelligence report against them to Thomas Duoth, NSS Director General of External Security.
