Monrovia – A member of the Grand Kru County Legislative Caucus, Representative J. Fonati Koffa from District 2, has disagreed with the chairman of the county Caucus, Senator Peter Coleman, the position that the Caucus supports traditional herbalist Tamba Bundoo to clean Chenakaleh, Picnicess through ‘primitive method’ as a means to do justice to alleged witchcraft activities.
Traditional herbalist Tamba Bundoo, also called ‘witch doctor’ has been in Grand Kru County since August 19 following the invitation of Superintendent Doris N. Ylatun to cleanse Chenakaleh, Picnicess of alleged witchcraft and sorcery activities, but his ministry was recently stopped by the Ministry of the Interior. about the 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 commentators agreed against the primitive method of justice, including Rufus Bongpekin Oulabo, who wrote in 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 South Journalists, said: “Congratulations on publishing this publication 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 the 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, and the recent alleged defendant was a catechist at Picnicess, Brother Joseph Nyenplue.

She said that in addition to Picnicess, the alleged witchcraft activities are also alarming in Galarway.
