Jabateh, who identified himself as Administrator of the Jabateh Family property, narrates that he had been in no dispute with anyone for land, neither with Pastor Fred Suah, but his property was destroyed during the court injection on the contested property.<\/p>\n<p>Jabateh discloses that he credited money from a bank in Ganta plus his personal cash, totaling over Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$50,000) that was used to construct the house that was destroyed during the court injection, causing him to have incurred huge losses with his children now suffering.<\/p>\n<p>He appeals to the government to quickly intervene in the matter before things get out of control. Jabateh however says he trusts the ability of the committee to find an amicable solution before the family will construct a fence around its property.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that chiefs and elders of Ganta City are not willing to say the truth about the land disputes in the city. He calls on residents of Ganta to remain peaceful, as all sides in the conflict wait on the government for solution.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, one of the victims of the land dispute Mr. Romean Wonyeneh says he is disappointed and frustrated over the delay from government. Mr. Wonyeneh notes that due to the delay, he has lost over a billion Liberian dollars and his children are now out of school while the banking institutions are now demanding money he credited.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed disappointment and frustrations over the County administration and the two senators from the County for not being able to find solution. The Liberia businessman calls on Senators Prince Yormie Johnson and Jeremiah Kpan Koung to also intervene.<\/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>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
