Breaking: Nimba Traditional Leaders Summon New Zoe Prophetkey to Zayglay
By : P Uriah Suah
Ganta , Nimba County ....Traditional authorities in Nimba County have announced plans to summon New Zoe Prophetkey to appear before the county’s highest traditional council in Zayglay Town amid an ongoing legal dispute involving him and Chief Justice Yamie Gbeisay.
Speaking on the Voice of Gompa on February 12, Nimba County General Cultural Coordinator Melvin Gbaylia and Chief Zoe Saye Papa, alongside members of the Nimba County Chiefs and Elders Council, said that regardless of any outcome in the formal legal system, Prophetkey would still be required to answer to traditional leaders.
“Even if the law sets him free today, the tradition will not set him free,” the elders stated, emphasizing that he would be invited through the Paramount Chief of Doe Chiefdom to appear before the traditional seat in Zayglay, regarded as the cultural authority of Nimba County.
The leaders expressed concern over what they described as Prophetkey’s public insults directed at national leaders, noting that while he presents himself as a traditional figure, his conduct has raised questions within the traditional community.
They maintained that disrespect toward established authorities would not be taken lightly and insisted that Prophetkey must appear before the council to respond to the issues raised.
