Gloria Musu Scott and her family.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive WhatsApp interview with this paper over the weekend, EFFL leader Emmanuel Honquoi warned the opposition that nobody knows tomorrow, saying it could be any of them too.<\/p>\n<p>Cllr. Scott and her family members Rebecca Youdeh Wilson, Gertrude Newton, and Alice C. Johnson are facing charges including murder, criminal conspiracy, and [providing] false reports to law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n<p>They were charged and sent to court Thursday, 22 June 2023 after several months of police investigation about the murder of Cllr. Scott\u2019s daughter Charloe Musu.<\/p>\n<p>The magisterial court in Monrovia has denied Cllr. Scott and her family members request to be released on bail, saying it lacks original trial jurisdiction in the murder case.<\/p>\n<p>The court also cited the defendants\u2019 failure to request a preliminary hearing to allow it to hear the evidence that the State relies on.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gonquoi said the EFFL takes serious exception to an alleged \u2018high level of witch-hunt\u2019 being meted out against peaceful citizens in the wake of the arrest of Cllr. Scott, and her three family members.<\/p>\n<p>Gonquoi said his party cannot sit idly and allow the fast-becoming one-term President George Manneh Weah to cause mayhem and harassment against the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe urge our compatriots of the opposition bloc to wake up from their slumber because today is Cllr. Scott, as no one knows the next target and victim,\u201d said Gonquoi.<\/p>\n<p>He called on Liberians to reject President Weah and his government at the polls this October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the only medium through which our country can be redeemed or regained from the hands of looters,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n<p>The EFFL leader also asked Liberians to remain calm and focused on the task to reject President Weah at the polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a signatory to the Farmington River Declaration, we call on international partners to take keen note of the fast-approaching danger that has the recipe for chaos,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition politician further stated that the action of President Weah and his surrogate should be a caveat to the people that anything called the CDC (Coalition for Democratic Change) should be buried and never surface in the body politics on election day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: Liberia news The New Dawn Liberia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lincoln G.
