A supporter of the opposition Unity Party, who was recently flogged in Nimba County by 11 men believed to be members of Dordeh Movement of former Representative Garrison Yealue, Jr. is currently receiving medication at the JFK Medical Center in Monrovia.
Former Representative Yealue is current chairman of the Governance Commission.
The victim, Daniel Marzar, is a citizen of Loelay Town in Gbeh -lay-Geh administrative district. Marzar was on his way to Karnplay City when just a few minutesโ walk from the city, he was allegedly flogged by 11 men believed to be supporters of Yealue.
The victim told reporters that he had not been in conflict with his attackers prior to the incident, but their decision to allegedly flog him was based on his refusal to support the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change against the UP.
Following the attack, Daniel was rushed to a health facility in Karnplay City but later transferred to Monrovia based on his critical condition.
Since the start of campaign, this is the second violent incident in Gbeh – lay -Gweh administrative district.
