Madam Nohn Gbanah, a 52-yr-old woman, says her grandchildren are dying slowly from hunger due to the prolonged detention of their father in Sanniquellie, Nimba County.
Speaking, the old lady explained that her daughter, Alwinda Dassen, who served as one of the jurors, was declared wanted by the 8th Judiciary Circuit Court for jury tampering.
According to the old lady, her daughter’s husband, who was taking care of the children, is in jail for the same case.
“I don’t know the whereabouts of my daughter, the children are dying of hunger, and their father is in jail for speaking over the radio against the court; I am begging the government or Supreme Court to help look into the case,” Gbanah lamented.
During a visit to her residence in Sanniquellie, some of the children were eating palm seeds, while others were sitting beside their grandmother at the back yard.
When this paper contacted the police station in Sanniquellie to find out about the arrest and detention of Pastor Abraham Dassen, police referred the paper to the court, on grounds that County Attorney, John Miah, withdrew the case from the station.
Speaking in separate remarks, Sanniquellie Christian Community pastors frowned at the court, saying the action of the court to jail Pastor Dassen for more than three weeks for speaking over the radio is worrisome.
When this paper contacted the Central Prison in Sanniquellie, the prison guard confirmed the detention of Pastor Abraham Dassen and Deputy Marshall of the 8th Judiciary circuit Court.
“Wednesday, April 10, 2024, will make Pastor Dassen and the Deputy Marshall one month, ” the prison security revealed.
