Bush Cows Go on Rampage in Liberia, Injuring Citizens

Bush cows are said to be on the rampage in Gogala, Gbarpolu County, injuring several persons. Citizens of the town and surroundings, through Chief Jallah Lone, informed President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf that the bush cows were on the rampage destroying their crops and injuring them. Chief Lone said the bush cows have made citizens of Gogala and surrounding towns and villages to halt farming activities for fear of being attacked. He said recently that two of the bush cows entered in one of the towns and injured several persons. Chief Lone disclosed that one of the cows was subsequently killed by a group of citizens. He attributed the rampaging of the bush cows in their areas to the imposition of embargo on the usage of single barrel guns in Liberia, voicing a strong appeal to President Sirleaf to give them the authority to use single barrel guns, to get rid of the bush cows. But in response, the Liberian leader, who empathizes with the citizens of Gogala, said the armed embargo is still on Liberia, and therefore could not authorize the citizens to acquire single barrel guns. For full article click here.
