Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b>Isaac Stubblefield was 20 years old when his two friends attacked him in Duta, Kpaii District, Bong County.<\/p>\n

The robbers poured acid on his face, he said, and demanded that he hand over the keys to his motorbike to them; but he refused and threw it into a nearby bush.<\/p>\n

He told FrontPageAfrica: \u201cI felt a splash of liquid on my face and my eyes burned, everything went dark, it burned my mouth and everything tasted like chemical. I knew I was in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI took Rufus Moses and Daniel Dolokelen in Duta, Kpaii District at around 8:00pm while enroute to Palala. They told me they were going to their girlfriends\u2019 place in Palala, and I said no problem. I agreed because we are friends. While on our way they later said me I should stop on the highway to allow them smoke their marijuana, and I said yes. When I stopped Rufus wasted the acid in my eyes and I dropped. I could hear him telling his friend to let\u2019s go before before see us here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey escaped with the bike. After few hours I was rescued by another motorcyclist who was enroute to Palala. He asked me why was I doing at that time in the middle of the highway, and I explained to him what happened. He rode me over his bike to Palala. I told him that my friends wasted acid in my eyes and took away my bike.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard one of them say, so what should we do to him?\u201d he recalled the unfortunate night incident in an interview with FrontPageAfrica Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next morning my friends motorcyclists launched a vigorous haunt for Daniel and Rufus and later saw them on their way to Ganta to sell the bike.\u201d<\/p>\n

While in pain and couldn\u2019t see anything around him, the robbers abandoned him to his fate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nine months and the acid survivor can no longer see as his eyeballs are gone. The worst is he may want to shed tears but due to his condition, he cannot even cry. For him, life is no longer worth living<\/p>\n

He has undergone a series of surgeries on his eyes, yet he is still in pain. It has been a tale woe, sorrow, agony and pain, as he remains indoors nursing his wounds, permanently incapacitated and dependent on his sister Comfort Stubblefield, who survives on farming.<\/p>\n

Both Rufus and Dolokelen were on June 6, 2022 sentenced to 25 years each by the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Gbarnga for the crime of armed robbery.<\/p>\n

Stubblefield is now seeking help, through his sister, to enable him to undergo surgery to rebuild his looks, which have been destroyed by the dreadful incident.<\/p>\n
