South Sudan's Vice President Riek Machar, and his wife have been placed under house arrest following the killing of a military general and 10 others in Nasir, Upper Nile State.
Authorities have linked the attack to a militia allegedly associated with Machar, fueling political tensions in the country.
However, Kenya's special envoy to South Sudan, Raila Odinga, argues that no direct connection has been established between Machar and the killings.
Odinga on Saturday, March 29 confirmed Machar's arrest and said South Sudanese authorities are investigating the incident after a fact-finding mission to Juba. "The situation in South Sudan is explosive and can escalate at any time," Odinga warned.
