Bong Muslims Unhappy about rumors

The Muslim Community of Bong County has rubbished rumors that it is burying dead bodies secretly during this Ebola crisis. According to the Bong Muslims, all burials being conducted by the community are done following thorough examinations by the Bong County Health and Social Welfare Team.

Speaking to our Bong County correspondent, an official of the community, Ansu Sesay and the  representative of the Muslim Community of the Bong Ebola Task Force, Ansu Sirleaf, said the speculations about secret burials were being spread by individuals refusing to seek clarity on rumors they have heard.

On behalf of the Muslim community in Bong, they encouraged Liberians to join the Ebola battle and stop wrongfully accusing each other. Sesay and Sirleaf said the Muslim Community was part of the effort by all sectors of society to eradicate Ebola, contrary to views that there was still denial in the community.

They wondered why would some individuals choose to spread lies about the Muslim community in Bong when it continues to make a huge impact on the fight against the epidemic.

According to them, a representative of the community was currently on the Bong Ebola Taskforce of the county, signifying their acknowledgement of the existence of the deadly virus. They pledged to continue sensitization about the deadly Ebola Virus to other Liberians that are still disputing its existence.
