– Representative Koffa disagrees with Senator Coleman on the primitive method of criminal justice
A member of the Grand Kru County Legislative Caucus, Representative J. Fonati Koffa from District # 2, has issued a dissenting opinion, disagreeing with Caucus Chairman Senator Peter Coleman, that the Caucus supports traditional herbalist Tamba Bundoo to clean Chenakaleh, Picnic through the ‘primitive method’ as a means to do justice for alleged witchcraft activities.
The traditional herbalist Tamba Bundoo, also called a ‘witch doctor’, has been in Grand Kru County since August 19, at the invitation of Superintendent Doris N. Ylatun to cleanse Chenakaleh, Picnicess of alleged witchcraft and other demonic activities, but his ministry was recently detained by the Interior Ministry over complaints of strange and terrifying results of primitive justice.
Senator Coleman told Grandcess Radio in Grand Kru that former Grand Kru County Traditional Chief Swen Wleh will lead a delegation from Monrovia to Grand Kru to guide the Tamba ministering process, while police will be deployed to provide protection.
But Rep. Cllr. Koffa, on the other hand, said that the presence of the herbalist is like fool’s gold.
He wrote his disagreement on his Facebook page: “The presence of a herbalist at Picnicess is like fool’s gold. It is unlikely to lead to discoverable evidence. As a Catholic and a lawyer, I must object. As a caucus member I I did not participate in that decision. I respect the motives that may have prompted the decision. However, we cannot resort to primitive methods of criminal justice. I very respectfully disagree. “

Several other people on social media voiced their agreement against the primitive method of justice, including Rufus Bongpekin Oulabo, who commented under Cllr. Koffa’s Post: “You have earned my respect 110 percent, Hon. Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa. Criminal justice procedures must be followed to dispense cases of all kinds in this contemporary time.”
Journalist Samuel Doe, head of the Southeastern Journalists, noted: “Congratulations on publishing this article because many thought it was a unanimous decision by all members of the Grand Kru legislative caucus. Those who accepted such a primitive practice or idea to identify witchcraft in the county are enemies of the county.
Democratic Newspaper senior reporter Siafa Jallah added his words: “In this modern age! Our people need conscience to use the judicial process !!”

Meanwhile, at least 40 people have been reported to have died from alleged mysterious killings or witchcraft activities in Chenakaleh over the years, the most recent death being a Catholic church leader in Picnicess, Brother Joseph Nyenplue.
Grand Kru County Superintendent Doris N. Ylatun told the Daily Observer exclusively a fortnight ago that the inexplicable death of the late Nyenplue on July 10 this year sparked a public outcry and a demand for justice. The lady superintendent also said that the former commissioner of Picnicess in 2018, Tokpa Geplah, also died mysteriously. She also narrated that, during her brief tenure as superintendent thus far, she once went home and found a snake in her bed.
She said that in addition to Picnicess, the alleged witchcraft activities are also alarming in Galarway.
