Chris Massaquoi (Liberia’s Police Chief) is a Terrorist!

In 2010, Garto Doe was shot in Pleebo City, Maryland County at point-blank range by the notorious Emergency Respond Unit commonly known as “ERU” – the murder machine of The Liberia National Police.

 

In 2012, the same ERU beat Harrison Geeply into bloodbath and locked him up at the Maximum Prison Compound in Harper City, Maryland County. Geeply, a teenager, slowly bled to death. They called in his poor father, Mr. Nyanti Geeply, to remove his son’s corpse. Mr. Geeply refused on ground the Liberian government murdered his son. So they are under obligation to bury him. Currently, Mr. Geeply had a stroke and no more himself. Two loses: his son was murdered by the Police and now he is a stroke victim and can do nothing for himself anymore.

 

These two murders have not been investigated. NO JUDICIAL REVIEW! All of these deaths occurred on Chris Massaquoi’s watch and orders.

 

This is all extrajudicial killings without judicial review.

 

Anytime any one interferes with the maximum growth potential of a people, that person is guilty of violence. Christ Massaquoi is guilty of murder and violence against innocent and armless civilians in Liberia.

 

In the same 2011, Wakla Neufville, a teenager was beating into bloodbath for verbally insulting a girlfriend of a member of the ERU. And this happened in Harper City. Right in Middlesex. The girlfriend of the ERU called on her ERU boyfriend for help in a verbal exchange. Prior to the ERU boyfriend coming to the scene, he called on some of his ERU colleagues; together they got in the area of the verbal exchange and physically brutalized Wakla Neufville, Jnr. into a bloody coma. People watched the police brutality. But no one could help the armless kid being brutalized by police. The police threatened that anyone who made any attempt to help the kid would be shot to death. And they were well-armed with AK-47s and pistols. So everybody just watched.

 

After brutalizing little Wakla, they dragged and dumped him in a police pickup truck. The police dashed the kid, like a beast, in front of the police Headquarters on Gregory Street and drove away. An old lady passing by raised alarm. And the kid was rushed to the J. J. Dossen Hospital where he remained for treatment for more than one week. When he recovered, a complaint was filed to the then Superintendent J. Gble-Bo Brown. Up to the moment we opine, nothing has been done for or on the kid’s complaint. Indications are, at certain age as he grows from teenage to adulthood, he will surely develop serious medical problems. By then, to whom will he run? President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will no more be in power. Chris Massaquoi might escape the country for fear of retaliation from the common people for terrorizing them. Who will help the poor kid in adulthood going through all the complications?

 

In 2012, yours truly, was severely beaten by the well-armed ERU in Pleebo City into a bloodbath. I was armless and defenseless. I was physically and psychologically tortured. I was financially robbed. They dumped me in a police pickup truck like a beast. They tear gas me. They threw me in jail for no apparent reason for 24 hours. I bled in jail and suffered from the tear gas aftermath. As a consequential result of the flogging, I spent four days at the J. J. Dossen Hospital in Harper City for medical treatment, Because of the severity of the medical problems deriving from the flogging, I was airlifted by The UNMIL helicopter to Monrovia for a referral at the J. K. Memorial Hospital for further medical treatment. A complaint was filed. But up to the moment we opine, the police department, Ministry of Justice and the Liberian government launched a campaign of silence.

 

ERU is the murder machine of the Liberia National Police (LNP) run by Christopher Massaquoi who was accused of murdering one of his body guards. From what we know, Chris Massaquoi ordered his body to shoot and kill and innocent and armless citizen. When the body guard refused Christ’s orders, he in return was ordered shot by another body guard of Chris Massaquoi. This is unconfirmed. But a Legislator raised the issue and Christ threatened to litigate.

 

Hanging around Chris Massaquoi’s neck are so many deaths of many innocent, defenseless and armless civilians in Liberia, particularly, Maryland County.

 

While I was on the radio speaking on Chris Massaquoi’s terrorist acts, citizens and residents of Monrovia and part adjacent called in reporting their stories. Some of them are now locked in their beds because they have been crippled, limb broken off and in serious medical pain due to police brutality.

 

They say, when you hear one thing, you dismiss it;

 

When you hear it the second time, you dismiss it again;

 

When you hear the same thing the third time, it should draw your attention;

 

When you hear the same news the fourth time, you need to act. And there’s where it’s all at!

 

Too many deaths by the police death squad continue to hang around Christ Massaquoi’s neck.

 

Not one time;

 

Not two times;

 

Not three times. But four times.

 

Someone needs to send this man to The Hague for justice. If Taylor can go to The Hague, so is any big tycoon like Chris Massaquoi. He’s not an exemption?

 

We are calling on The Human Rights Watch of US to save the lives  of the rest of us who have not met the bullets and secret killing yet!

 

Chris MUST account the extrajudicial killings and police brutality, starting with Maryland County!

 

Being a good friend of President Sirleaf is no excuse for Chris Massaquoi to terrorize murder and incarcerate innocent and armless civilians.

 

All of the extrajudicial murders in Liberia, particularly in Maryland County, are done on the orders and on the watch of Police Director Chris Massaquoi of the Republic of Liberia.

 

Is Christ Massaquoi trying to be the next Hitler police director in Liberia or the police director of Augusto Pinochet of Chile?

 

Whatever the answer is, we know for sure Chris Massaquoi is a TERRORIST! He MUST be TRIED in a competent court of jurisdiction! Or else, we will practice SELF-DEFENSE!

 

It is a RIGHT not a PREVILLGE!

 

Chris enjoys the favor of President Sirleaf for obvious reasons. But come the Judgment Day of history, he surely will have to account for his deeds and actions in this Government for his terrorist activities.

 

Posterity will be there!

 

We will tip our hats at the graves of those of our dear departed youths, elderly, men and women who were murdered by Chris Massaquoi and his Liberian Gestapo police, as we go by the cemetery. And we will continue to cry out for justice and freedom to Christendom and Islam and peace-loving peoples, the world over, to bring these terrorists like Christ Massaquoi and Christiana Tah to Justice one day!

 

A terrorist is a person who terrorizes or frightens others. Chris Massaquoi is a hardcore TERRORIST! He terrorizes, kills, flogs, incarcerates and frightens armless, defenseless and innocent citizens and others.

 

When will Christ Massaquoi be brought to justice?!

 

We don’t know for now! He has access to power right now! He’s a good friend of President Sirleaf!

 

But we leave the answer to Father Time! It will tell!

 

Confidently, we know such a day will come!

 

And not in the too distant future!

I Am Not Anti Police, I am Anti Police Brutality

In Hitler Germany, the Nazi Police State was to ensure that everybody in Germany did as they were told - or paid the price.

 

What “price”?

 

You figure that out from this story!

 

The Nazi Police were controlled by Heinrich Himmler and his feared secret police - the Gestapo. Our police are controlled by Christopher Massaquoi and his feared secret police The “Emergency” Response Unit. ERU in short. In Germany, the Gestapo did as it pleased. In Liberia, the ERU does what it pleases including extrajudicial killings without judicial review.

 

In Nazi Germany, children’s loyalty could be developed with a policy of indoctrination via education and the Hitler Youth movement. Time and planning spent in these areas would bring a suitable reward for Hitler.

 

As was in Hitler Germany, in Liberia, the police see certain individuals as constant “thorn” in the flesh of Authorities unless they are dealt with. For us as social justice advocates, the police have developed a policy of intimidation. Fear is a by-word for those of us who speak out on issues affecting our common people who cannot speak for themselves. Any wrong comment overheard by ERU has very serious consequences.

 

In today’s Liberia like in the most recent past, the police, ERU specifically, are allowed to arrest people on suspicion that they are about to do wrong. This gives the police huge powers. Local police units draw up a list of people in their locality who might be suspected of being "Enemies of the State". This list goes to the ERU. So the ERU has the power to do as it likes. Its leader – Christopher Massaquoi - is one of the most feared men in today’s Liberia. His immediate chief is Cllr. Christiana Tah. Both of them run their respective branches with ruthless efficiency.

 

I know this because in Harper City, Maryland County where I temporarily work, The Liberia National Police threatened to arrest me for planning a peaceful mass protest demonstration meant to draw the attention of the National government on several shipwrecks that took innocent lives of men, women and children. Also, the then superintendent (Governor of the State) Gblebo Brown and some Legislators gave the police a green light to shoot me if I made any attempt to speak out against the Status Quo. The former Minister of Internal Affairs, Harrison Karweaah, informed the Executive Mansion that I am against the Status Quo. By so doing, he placed my life in serious danger. What he failed to comprehend is that I have not been against any government of Liberia as I am not against any human person. I am only against vices.

 

At one point, there was information within the police circle for me to be whisked off the street. I remember the head of The Central Investigation Division, CID in short, met me in the street and informed me that he and the police needed to see me at the Headquarters. I told him to give me chance to get home and drop off my groceries. As soon as I did, I promised him I would report to the police Headquarters. I guess he wanted to do this secretly. So if he insisted I go with him that very moment, crowd would gather. And this would be national news. So he allowed me to go home. At home I picked up my tooth brush, shower slippers, cover cloth and a mat and reported to the Headquarters. Prior to that, I placed a cell phone call to The Catholic Justice & Peace Commission coordinator (Thomas Marwolo) and informed him of what was obtaining. Upon my arrival at the Headquarters, the police was shocked. Because I had with me my overnight bag. The then head of the CID, Amos Darpo, who is now head of the local police force, invited me to his office for questioning. I had no idea what this man was asking me. And so I plead the FIFTH. I couldn’t answer any of those questions he was posing to me aggressively for fear I would incriminate myself. I asked to speak with my lawyer. Suddenly, he set me free. But I was placed in their book as one of those to “watch” for. That means I am placed in the category of “Enemy of the State.”

 

The news circulated that I was taken to the police Headquarters. Suddenly, the police Headquarters was full with women, men and youth to ascertain the information. By then, I was released.

 

From inside scoop, the police brutality against me on the sweltering afternoon of June 29, 2012 in Pleebo City was premeditated. How can I not believe this inside scoop if the inside informant was once inside the top brass of the very police when all these crazy police things happened to me? I don’t believe in the Conspiracy Theory. But what choice have I? This is Liberia. And strange things happen here.

 

In Liberia, they say God made three people: 1) the White man, 2) the Black man, and 3) the Liberian man. And there are three ways of doing things: 1) The right way, 2) The wrong way, and 3) The Liberian way. Put all these loose ends together and tell me if police brutality against me was not premeditated as per the inside scoop

 

Extrajudicial killings of two young men, merciless flogging of innocent and armless citizens and robbing of their goods and the daylight rapes of young girls by the ERU in Harper and Pleebo are cases that received no judicial review.

 

Why?

 

Police brutality must stop! And right now!

 

THIS IS MY WORD!

Liberia: 2013 County Meet in Goalless Start

The National County Meet kicked off officially January 5, 2013 in Harper, Maryland County with the Host and River Gee County locking in a goalless draw. Maryland girls however over-powered their River-gee counterparts in kickball. The ceremony attracted thousands of sports enthusiasts and spectators in Maryland and other surrounding counties.

 

Sports and county officials from the political sub-divisions of the country attired in their respective county colors paraded the principal streets of Harper to welcome the ceremony to that coastal city.

At an indoor program held in the Harper City Hall, Harper City Mayor welcomed the decision by the Ministry of Youth & Sports to stage the official opening ceremony of the event in Harper. She said the people of Maryland were honored by the selection and assured representatives of the counties of a memorable, peaceful [and] hospitable environment.

 

The Minister of State without Portfolio, Ambassador Conmany Wesseh, representing President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, extended warm felicitations from the President to all county sports officials, participants and sports enthusiasts. On behalf of President Sirleaf, Ambassador Wesseh expressed regrets for her inability to personally witness the opening ceremony, owing to other pressing state matters.

 

He however assured participants that the Chief Executive would follow closely the events which he indicated are the heart of government's policy of reconciliation through sports, "because without it our development agenda will be hampered."

 

He also commended officials of the Ministry of Youth & Sports, County officials and sports administrations as well as athletes for gracing the occasion and admonished them to be good sports ambassadors for their respective counties. Minister Wesseh later took the ceremonial kick-off, signaling the official start of the 2012/2013 National Sports Meet.

 

For his part, Youth & Sports Minister S. TornorlahVarpilah explained that the hosting of the event in Harper was in furtherance of the spirit of unification and integration which was promoted by the late Liberian President William V.S. Tubman, a son of Maryland County.

 

In his comment, Minister Varpilah commended the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) and other institutions, including Lone Star cell MTN for their sponsorship, saying the collaboration will go a long way in strengthening and enhancing the growth of the National Sports Meet.

 

Meanwhile, NOCAL is said to be providing two sets of outfits for each participating county team in the five disciplines of the competition in the 2012-2013 National Sports Meet, including football, kickball, basketball, athletics and volleyball.

 

The company is also said to be providing boots and sneakers for the players, as well as promotional t-shirts for spectators and county officials. Billboards are also printed and erected in the counties to promote this year's National Sports meet.

The Maryland Girls Ball Club The Greatest Ever

FACTOID: The Best Goal-keeper of the Lone Star Women Football Club ( Mamie Kamara) is a member of the Maryland County Girls Kickball Club. Also is the nominated Best Defender who did not win the balloting(Gestina Wilson) of the Lone Star  Women Football Club. The Awards were giving one day before departing for Maryland for the Opening and Regional games in Harper City.

 

The Maryland Girls Kickball Club is the Annual County Meet two-time Champs.

 

This how Emmanuel Weedee of Heritage News describes the Maryland Girls Ball Club after analysis of the Boys game against RiverGee County on January 5, 2013 in The Martha Tubman Ball Park in Harper City:

 

“The 2013 National County Sports Meet (NCSM) got underway over the weekend in Harper, Maryland County, with the host (Maryland County) held to a goalless draw by neighbor River Gee County. Maryland County is drawn in group-3 of the NCSM alongside River Gee, Grand Kru Counties. The County Meet opener started on a poor note with the two counties proving noting to their supporters.”

 

“Both counties wasted the entire first 45 minutes of soccer action without a single shot on goal, but rather all they shared was a yellow card apiece. Emmanuel Zoegar was yellow carded in the 11th minute of the game for River Gee County, while Joseph Woods of Maryland County went into Referee Lamie Kamara’s book in the 33rd minute of the encounter.”

 

“However, the unlike the first half, the second period of the encounter produced a little bit of exciting actions expected by the fans. Maryland County came close to opening the score sheet just 12 minutes into the second half with a distant shoot, but thanks to goalkeeper Emmanuel Henry of River Gee County, who had a tip on it to send it for a corner.”

 

“River Gee County on the other side, replied 12 minutes later with a double miss by Salinsa Broh and Mohammed Barry respectively. The visitors (River Gee County) again, made another astonishing move to goal but the Marylanders reconsolidated quickly to save that danger.”

 

“That was not the end of the story, as the home side moved aggressively towards getting a goal within the closing stages of the encounter. But it all ended in disappointments as the efforts of the Cape Palmas boys were denied by goalie Henry, who saved River Gee County from all troubles”

 

“In spite of that disappointment in the soccer match, the host still went home smiling as she collected all two points from River Gee County in the kickball encounter, which was played earlier. The Marylanders trashed her host by 33-3 home runs, making it the biggest score line in the history of kickball in the NCSM.”

 

The first was a 26-2 victory of Maryland over River Gee County. River Gee County scored 0, 2, 1, 0 and 0 in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth round respectively, while Maryland County on the other hand, scored 11, 9, 4, 1 and 7 in the first, second, third, fourth and fifth round of the encounter respectively.
