TUCSM CONDEMNS THE HORRENDOUS AND ALLEGED RITUALISTIC KILLING OF MORDECIOUS NYEMAH AND DEMANDS SPEEDY AND UNBIASED GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
March 31, 2021
For Immediate Release
Ideologues and partisans of the mighty Tubman University Concerned Students Movement (TUCSM), fellow students, civil society organizations, advocates and crusaders of social justice, ladies and gentlemen of the fourth estate, the local government authority, distinguished ladies and gentlemen.
With sadness, bitterness and disdain, the Tubman University Concerned Students Movement has come to learn of the savage murder of a young man named Mordacious Nyemah on the 25th of March 2021 allegedly for ritualistic purposes. We consider this a threat to the security of our motorcyclist brothers and the general citizenry of Maryland County and an utter disregard for the value of the human life. TUCSM condemns this as arrantly as humanly possible. In this same light, TUCSM also condemns the act perpetrated yesterday by aggrieved motorcyclists which saw the break-in of the Harper Central Prison, the complete damage of a police vehicle and motorcycle, the unremorseful looting of the prison compound and the burning and discard of important materials owned by the government of Liberia. As a campus-based party, we have an idea of what it feels like to be aggrieved but we believe the method employed yesterday was a slight contradiction of patriotism and the justice and peace we all yearn for. We cannot solve one problem by creating another. This is why we cannot ensure justice is served to a murder suspect by breaking in the prison compound which facilitated the escape of many murder criminals and many other criminals of many other crimes. This, we believe, further endangers the community and life and property of all of us.
Howbeit, we strongly stand in solidarity with the cause of the struggle. We believe that there should be no murder with impunity as precedented by the 2019 gruesome murder of Bill Myers. This is why we assemble to send a message to local and national government in the loudest voice to immediately intervene positively.
As we agitate and hope for justice to be served, we call on our aggrieved brothers from the motorcyclist union to remain peaceful in all their undertaking.
To our fellow students, we ask the you remain peaceful by staying off the streets as it is not pilable at the moment and could be harmful.
God bless you all
God bless Tubman University
God bless Liberia
