“Those who insight violence are as guilty as those who commit the actual act of violence. Under our law, an aggregate plaintiff cannot be judged in the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction. We will handle you accordingly,“ Minister Musa Dean vowed.
The Antony General of the Republic of Liberia however cautioned Liberians not to test the result of the joint security and anyone who will resist should be prepared to face the full weight of the law.
