Scene from a live video of the Baniguea village arson attack
In less than 72 hours, two persons have reportedly been killed in Nimba County in two separate incidents at different locations, creating tension among the communities within which the incidents occurred.
The town of Banniguea near Tappita was on early Monday morning set ablaze by angry mobs in retaliation of the killing of a young man by another man from that town. The victim of the stabbing is from the town called Kpowin, in Yarwin Mensonnon District, but he had spent much of his lifetime in Bannigea.
In a video recording, a local resident of Banniguea, Pastor Menledy Towah, is heard narrating in the Gio vernacular that some residents of Kpowin, a nearby town, entered Banniguea during the early morning hours of the night and set houses ablaze because one Diamond and Archieboy had a tussle in which Archieboy was wounded apparently to his death.

The National head office of the Community Watch Forum of Liberia (CWFL), situated on GSA Road in Paynesville, was a scene of anguish and distress when several members of the organization including its leadership were disgracefully evicted from the premises that they had occupied for over two years.
The organization, which has branches in the rest of the 14 counties, has been in existence for over 20 years. It was initially taken to court by the administrator of the property, Mr. Shem Tartu, for arrears of one and the half years amounting to over (US$2,500), but the leadership of the Community Watch Forum of Liberia (CWFL) pleaded with Mr. Tartu for the situation to be out of court settlement.
