SGT Major. Awad Lemi


He was born in 1957, a citizen of Central Equatoria State (CES) of Pöjulu ethnicity. He had a brother Latiyo a prison custodian and a sister Kurofa. In 1965, he attended Katar primary school (KPS), and Juba one junior (JOJ) in Juba. He was a goalkeeper for Katar football club, and later transferred to the Al-Na’asir club due to an employment offer from that club. The Na’asir club is managed by the Sudan Police force and most of its players were policemen. He was recruited into the Sudan Police force (SPF) by the club and upon completion of his SPF basic training, he worked as administrator and promoted to rank of Sergeant. He was a very disciplined policeman, a very serious football player specially with defenders who were not marking down strikers, friendly and knows how to crack jokes.

In late 1980s he was transferred to Equatoria Coordination Office in Khartoum (ECO). In 1992, he left for Juba, was arrested, detained, and killed. Reliable sources confirmed that he and James Wani, the Na’asir goalkeeper were assassinated because both men were informers and knew government plans to eliminate SPLA insiders in Juba as well as to coverup government genocidaires crimes. They were killed on the advice of national security to coverup and protect information about the victims.
