As the Government of Liberia sets up various communities to investigate  the recent violence in parts of Lofa County, Bong County representative Adam Bill Corneh is urging Liberians to avoid discrimination and live together in peace and harmony in order to forge ahead with development in the country.

In an interview Tuesday, March 2, with reporters in Monrovia, Representative Corneh cautioned against the wrongful interpretation of the Lofa conflict and allow the committees to produce findings void of prejudices.

He called on his colleagues in the National Legislature and Liberians in general not to reach a hasty conclusion as to who is right or wrong, until the independent bodies can make their reports public

The conflict which ensued last Friday in Kornia, Zorzor and Voinjama respectively left at least four persons dead, 18 more wounded as well as the destruction of thousands of dollars worth of properties, including the Catholic Church.

The incident started when a group of students took to the streets in Lofa County in demand for justice for the death of their schoolmate, one Korpo Kamara who went missing and was later found dead.

It can be recalled, violent demonstration erupted on Thursday, February 25 following the mysterious death of a 23-year-old school girl who had gone to Kornia for a weekend but was later declared missing.

However, the remains of the deceased was later discovered near a mosques in Kornia, something according to sources that sparked off angry reaction from the student community in the county.

But superintendent Kortamai said instead of trying to calm down the angry demonstrators accused the Pakistani Continent of UNMIL of deciding to provide protection for the mosques and other Muslims’ edifice and few prominent Muslim clerics in the trouble spot of the county.

He lamented that keepers chose to provide protection for few institutions and individuals in the situation which led to the destruction of two churches including the Catholic Church. He told Star radio via mobile phone that two churches were destroyed by a group of “Mandingoe youth.”

As a result of the demonstration, few deaths were reported, but it was independently confirmed up to press time, but President Ellen Johnson in a statement release Friday regretted “the development that led to the few deaths and the destruction of religious edifices and private properties.”

The statement said “it is fortunate that the Vice President was in the County and was able to mediate and bring some calm to the situation.”
