MONROVIA-Early Thursday, at 3:35 am riot police and partisans of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), headed by ex-president George Weah, clashed after officers of the Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency(LDEA) had gone there to search for drugs, eyewitnesses said.
“The partisans were to the headquarters in side when they saw the LDEA and police officers coming with guns and baton. When they got to there, they started arresting CDicians . It was later the partisans decided to throw rock,” one Amos Kollie said.
This led to complete tension and traffic came to a halt.
