Criminals have reportedly besieged the tomb of former Vice President, Enoch Dogolea in Paynesville, outside Monrovia.
A resident of the Liberia Broadcasting System Community told the In profile Daily that the presence of the tomb is causing serious insecurity for citizens in the area.
The resident narrated that community dwellers there constantly complain of being in serious danger, claiming that criminals usually rob them at nights whenever they are coming from their workplaces.
“The Tomb is occupied by criminals who sell illegal drugs and gamble. They harass residents at nights and this is causing us serious fears,” another resident noted.
Information was also gathered that officers of the Liberia National Police have on many occasions chased criminals in the area, but in no time they are back to harass residents.
Against this background, the residents are calling on the Government of Liberia and the United Nations Mission in Liberia to ensure security protection for them by relocating the tomb or security officers be assigned there.
Other residents indicated that the criminals might have migrated from Central Monrovia, following the ceiling up of the Center Street Cemetery where they (criminals) used to reside to attack people at nights.
