Bureau, has been dismissed from his position by the regional President, Mrs. Alemitu Umot.

While the official reasons for his dismissal have not yet been disclosed, well-placed sources within the administration suggest that it is closely linked to the escalating insecurity plaguing the region.

Reports indicate that Okello Obang’s continued associations with former leaders Mr. Omod Ojulu and Thakuey Joack may have played a pivotal role in his ousting.

These former leaders are alleged to be actively working to rekindle ethnic tensions reminiscent of the conflicts experienced during their time in power.

Such associations have raised concerns among officials about the potential for a return to violence and instability, prompting the President to take decisive action.

As the region grapples with these challenges, media outlets have begun to speculate on Okello’s successor, Oman Olay is reportedly poised to assume the role of Deputy Chief of the Regional Security Bureau, marking a potential shift in leadership aimed at addressing the pressing security issues facing the area.

The transition in leadership comes at a critical juncture, as the new administration will need to navigate the complexities of restoring peace and stability while countering any attempts to incite ethnic conflict.

The situation remains fluid, and many stakeholders are closely monitoring these developments, hopeful that the changes in leadership will lead to a more secure and peaceful environment for all residents of the region.
