The home of Justice Joseph N. Nagbe was reportedly hit by a petrol bomb thrown within the premises overnight on Wednesday by unknown men.
No casualties or injuries were sustained as a result, according Justice Nagbe, who spoke to www.newspublictrust.com Reporter via mobile phone on Thursday, March 11, 2021 in the Banjor suburb of Monrovia near Hotel Africa..
Though he says he does not know who carried out the attack, he believes it’s the work of some elements in society who hate to be told the truth and who hate the way he does his work.
It is not known what the motive of the attacker(s) is..
The attack is said to have taken place barely 24 hours after the Chamber Justice issued a preemptory writ against Lofa County senator-elect Brownie Samukai and the National Elections Commission (NEC) on March 10, 2021, in response to a writ of prohibition filed by the opposition Movement for Progressive Change against the certification of Samukai as winner of the December 2020 Lofa County senatorial election.
Respondents are to file their return within seven days.
