Press statement by the Konobo Administrative District Urban Youth (KADUY); appertaining to the mysterious disappearance of the Acting National Elections Commission Magistrate of Grand Gedeh County, Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner, and subsequent attacks on those searching for him in Niao, Grand Gedeh County.

Members and officials of the Konobo Administrative District Urban Youth, Grandgedeans both in and out of Liberia, fellow Liberians:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press:
Good afternoon, and thank you for honoring our invitation to today’s press conference.

I will like to shed light on the current prevailing issue in Grand Gedeh County and close with KADUY Position on the matter.

Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner was appointed by NEC boss, Madam Davietta Brown Lansana, as Acting Elections Magistrate in Grand Gedeh County, where he steered the affairs of the NEC and conducted the free, fair and transparent Senatorial Election that brought Hon. Zoe Emmanuel Pennue to office as Senator of Grand Gedeh County in 2020. Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner also conducted the recent 2021 by-election that brought Hon. Erol Madison Gwion to the Legislature as Representative of District #1, Grand Gedeh County.

Members of the press:
About a month ago, the NEC Acting Magistrate had been battling with his health. Mr. Alfred Taliey Dunner, being a professional nurse decided to seek medical attention. But his wife advised and took him to a herbalist in her home town in Naio clan, Grand Gedeh County because of the spiritual nature that characterized his illness. While they were in Niao, the NEC acting Magistrate, Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner, mysteriously disappeared from the house with his computer at about 2:00am on May 3, 2022.

Members of the press:
Being a son of Konobo Administrative District, Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner’s mysterious disappearance caught the attention of the people of Konobo. So, the Konobo people decided to send men to Naio to find out the circumstances regarding their son’s life and subsequently employed a search for Mr. Dunner in various bushes.

While searching for the NEC Magistrate, the Konobo people were attacked by residence of Niao. Niao residents chopped our people from Konobo with machetes and shot at them with single barrel guns. They chopped some of our brothers with cutlasses and fired bullets at them! As we speak eight of our brothers are on the critical condition list at the Tubman Memorial Hospital in Zwedru, Grand Gedeh County.

Members of the press:
The Konobo Administrative District Urban Youth, based in Monrovia strongly denounces the mysterious disappearance of NEC Acting Magistrate, Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner. We also condemn, in the strongest terms, the attempted murder and terroristic acts against our kinsmen in Naio Clan, Grand Gedeh County.

The perpetual silence by the state security in the county and the failure of the county authorities to have those perpetrators arrested and investigated is creating fear in the citizens, indicating that they are taking side with those inflicting havoc and distress in our county.

Members of the Press:
You can have the photos of our brothers that were chopped and shot in cold blood!

We are calling on:
National Government (President George Manneh Weah)
The Human Rights Commission
The Religious Council
Traditional Council
And all well many Liberians, home and abroad, to collectively ensure a full, speedy and impartial investigation as soon as possible to help maintain peace in that part of the county,

to press on all those concerned to bring our son, brother, and father, the NEC acting Magistrate, Mr. Alfred Tailey Dunner back to us alive and normal!

This is not a threat. But we must say that this situation has the propensity to derail the peace in Grand Gedeh and sour the relationship between the Konobo people and the Niao people.

Konobo people are peaceful and law-abiding citizens. Notwithstanding, we are noted for resisting any attempt to take advantage of our meekness or to take us for granted.
At some point, Konobo people hold the view that “to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”. We mean that the disappearance of Alfred Tailey Dunner and the attacks on our people in Niao have the propensity to evoke anger among and subsequent action by the Konobo people.

We are cognizant of the fact that the international community spent resources and even lost lives to restore peace to this country after 14 years of civil war. We do not want the money and lives of our international partners to go in vain. That is why we are calling on all stakeholders to do the right things without further delay. And the right things are: bring Alfred’s living body (with all consciousness) back and arrest those that committed attempted murder, terrorism, and aggravated assault against our people, the Konobo people.
I want to say thank you for the privilege given to me by the Konobo Administrative District Urban Youth and the media to communicate this to the Liberian people and the world.

Thank you.

Is Grand Gedeh County Students Union on the right path to history-making with the much-publicized countywide quizzing competition?

In postwar Liberia, Grand Gedeh County is on record for its brilliant in nationwide academic competitions under the auspices of national and international organizations.

Arguably, not one academic competition has been organized internally by any student-based organization since the end of the civil war.

However, with the now revamped Grand Gedeh County Students Union and a fresh breed of leaders, the institution will this week stage its inaugural "Quizzing Competition" under the theme "revamping the county education sector through academic excellent".

Mr. Christopher Ninneh Quiah is the official sponsor of the exercise according to the organizing committee.

The event is expected to take place at the Zwedru City Hall Theatre and will last for two days beginning from April 28 - 29, 2022. About fifteen high schools are expected to go all out for the prestigious championship trophy.

This comes barely a week after the new leadership was inducted into office, making academic activities its flagship agenda.

Steven Collins a zealous and passionate youthful activist is now the new head of the Grand Gedeh County Students Union, a body he says is an auxiliary of the Liberia National Students Union.

In an exclusive interview recently with the Choice Communication Network Collins said his leadership remains uncompromised in seeking the welfare of the student community.

As a student-based organization, he told the Choice Communications Network that his leadership will remain vocal on issues affecting students while at the same time continuing his advocacy for a just and equal society.

Responding to a question on his leadership priorities, Steven Collins named academic activities, the construction of a student's complex, and the setting up of local leadership structures in all of the six education districts of Grand Gedeh as his foremost areas of priority.

The youthful activist is of the firm belief that competitions like the quizzing, debate, and spelling bee including sports will help to reignite the county education sector.

What seemingly is unprecedented is the Collins-led leadership plan to construct what he terms as academic complex to serve the purpose of students' needs.

He added that the student's academic complex will contain a science laboratory, student's center, and a playground.
If it is constructed it will be the first of its kind since 1964 when Grand Gedeh got her county status.

When asked further as to where his leadership would source out funding to implement the activities outlined for the student community, the tough-talking Collins firstly extended his profound gratitude to Christopher Ninneh Quiah who he says has been highly supportive of the student's activities including the induction ceremony and the countywide quizzing competition.

On the implementation of the academic complex, Steven Collins says his leadership will vigorously lobby with prominent and eminent citizens both at home and abroad to raise the needed amount that would be required to undertake such a project.

Collins frowns on political leaders including the county superintendent for not attending the county's student-based organization induction ceremony despite being invited to the ceremony officially.

With news looming in the county of a pending county council sitting, he says, it is now time for decision-makers to give the education sector the deserved attention.

He described the none support posture toward education in the county by some officials as a sad reality and expressed his hope that things will change for the greater good for all Grand Gedeans.

Mr. Collins is meanwhile calling on all Grand Gedeans to rally around his leadership to ensure students have what it takes to strive for academic excellent in the county.
