The incident reportedly occurred within the embassy premises on November 25, 2024.

In a formal letter addressed to South Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Dr. Dicken detailed his grievances, accusing Ambassador Angong of misconduct and outright defiance of diplomatic protocol. 

He described the alleged attack as unprecedented and claimed it was targeted due to his position as Special Envoy of the President and Head of Mission.

The letter raises several concerns regarding prior incidents and alleged negligence by the Ministry in addressing reports of misconduct by the deputy. 

Dr. Dicken questioned why his repeated complaints since March 2024 were ignored and sought clarity on the circumstances surrounding Ambassador Angong’s extended absence from duty and unauthorized actions during that time.

Dr. Dicken also accused Ambassador Angong of escalating tensions by threatening embassy staff who witnessed the incident. He identified multiple witnesses, including Ms. Rose Tulio, the Executive Secretary, and embassy drivers, and requested their written testimonies.
