However, Saah said he responded that Wallace was too young to be begging for money. In response, the victim allegedly insulted Saah, leading him to instruct Wallace to leave his premises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Wallace was in the process of departing from Saah\u2019s property, an altercation ensued.

He is now set to face trial following his arraignment in court,\u201d the investigation report said.<\/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>PATRICK S.
