Several protesters of three boys who are said to have gone missing under the supervision of Moses Ahoussouhe was arrested for what the police termed as violating the rules of a peaceful assembly yesterday during the ongoing sit-in protest at the St. Moses Funeral Parlor in Gardnesville.
The three persons who are missing are Robert Blamo 29, Siafa Boimah, 33 and the other only identified as Blama allegedly went missing as are feared dead after completing a piece of job for the proprietor of the Funeral parlor, Mr. Ahoussouhe on his gold mine in the Bong Mines.
According to reports from the aggrieved family members who have been mounting pressure, their children are not dead as alleged by the proprietor therefore, they have decided to gather on a daily basis to demand the release of their children or be provided an accurate explanation as to their whereabouts.
According to information gathered the protesters who continue to swell at the scene were being deliberate while asking the police to allow them passage into the premises of the Parlor to present a certificate to the owner.
The protesters’ certificate read, ‘Certificate of Exposure. This certificate is awarded to Moses Ahoussouhe, a man who shamelessly wants to legalize ritualistic killings. Bring our brothers back evil man.’
During yesterday’s gathering according to our reporter, when the police did not give the protesters the chance to have their will, one of the protesters forcefully left the crowd and made his way to the fence but was prevented from entering immediately by the police and that started the riot that witnessed the police spraying tear gas at the harmless protesters.
Most of the protesters ran away while the police chased them; unfortunately, some of them were attested by the police and thrown into a waiting police vehicle that reportedly took them to the national headquarters of the Liberia National Police.
However, one of the protesters, Decontee Zasay said they had gone to dramatize the disappearance of their brothers and have organized a group called Daughters of the African Revolution (DAR) whose belief is in unity; considering themselves selfless soldiers of the masses.
According to her, since the disappearance of their brothers the police had done nothing but protect the property of the accused instead of being concerned about lives of the accusers as well.
”We are here in solidarity of the boys’ families and we will make sure that St. Moses will be dealt with according to the court of law and this is either he proves to us that our boys are alive or he tells us what the true story is. We are not afraid of whatever circumstances might take place; we have three homes which is our home, the cell and grave therefore we are not afraid,” she stated.
“We promised that next week, the protest will be more than this and we are happy that this is being televised. We want St. Moses to know that the protest that took place in Nigeria is going to be small compared to what will happen next week and that we are not afraid of anything that will happen afterwards,” she lamented.
