Deputy minister Jahlaway Tonpoe had gone to visit the hospital, Redemption where many of the dead bodies are.

“We were to the place last night. After the crusade, we just heard heavy noise from outside. Some people were running to come inside the fence because they said they saw Zogos with cutlasses and knives coming towards them. So, many of the people ran inside,” Samuel Wleh, a resident of the place said.
Zogos are people who abandoned their homes and live on the streets. They also engage in criminal activities as well.
