She said they are calling on the government of Liberia to investigate the issue and make sure that justice is served because her sister at no time offended anybody, adding that she was a woman of peace.

Also speaking a resident of the community, Roosevelt P. Sakor explained that this was the first time such a case of murder was being reported in their community even though it has happened in Caldwell before.

” Should we die first before they care for us? This is very bad for our country. When you get up all you hear is negative news about death, kidnapped, and Ritualistic killing. We are living in total fear in this country. This lady that is dead is a very simple person that respects everyone in this Community”, Mr. Sakor noted.https://thenewdawnliberia.com/fear-in-monrovia/
