FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (KNPIF)

March 18, 2021, Harper City -  On March 16 instant, the Chief, Elders, Men, Women and other stakeholders and citizens of Fishtown, Harper District, Maryland County, approached the offices of KNPIF to complain of the terroristic acts of some Joint Security officers being committed in Fishtown against armless innocent men, women, children and leaders. Those reps of Fishtown that approached our offices also sought our counsel and advocacy! Considering the strange and ridiculous situation in its most alarming stage which is being exercised by some Joint Security officers, KNPIF has agreed to therefore represent the interests of the people of Fishtown and advocate in the behalf. 


In January of this year, our clients informed us that, indeed, some unknown  substance landed on the beaches of Fishtown. And that captured the attention of the Joint Security of Maryland. From what we are told, it is the Joint Security that has branded the substance as "dangerous" drugs. Whether or not this is true, our clients tell us, the Security Forces immediately whisked off such "dangerous" substance quickly from Fishtown to an unknown destination. Up to the moment we opine, there's no trace of the so-called dangerous substance. But interestingly, the Security Forces are having a field day in Fishtown! They're beating, intimidating, terrorizing men, women and children and physically destroying poor people's homes of Fishtown under the excuse of searching for the so-called dangerous substance.


In as much we condemn the use and sale of narcotics and all other dangerous drugs, we equally and categorically condemn, with all the emphasis we can command from the roof of our tongues, the ongoing violence, intimidation, threats, terrorism, physical destruction of homes, theft of property and the injection of fear being imposed on the law-abiding, taxpaying and Peace-loving people of Fishtown by few Joint Security Officers! Thus, we call upon the Superintendent of Maryland County, Hon. George Prowd and his local govt authorities including but not limited to the County Attorney to bring a COMPLETE HALT to this senseless  hostility being imposed on the poor and innocent people of Fishtown by some Joint Security Forces without further delay! Currently, consequent of the ongoing threats and terroristic acts meted against the people of Fishtown, students are afraid to return to school as market women abandoned their businesses. Citizens and residents of Fishtown have taken cover in the forest and desolate places for their safety. 


We in KNPIF are deeply concerned over this unprofessional and inhumane behaviour of some members of the Joint Security of Maryland! It is our ardent hope and prayer that this matter will be immediately resolve before it hits crisis proportion!


Our law-abiding people deserve better!
