The family of the late President, Samuel K. Doe, has threatened to take former rebel leader, Prince Johnson to court relative to the killing of the former President.
The Doe family, speaking through their spokesperson, Mr. George W. Wright, said "If he is ready for peace, we are prepared to take him to court to give reasons why he killed our brother, father, uncle and Leader."
The Doe family noted that they have no plans to eliminate or kill Prince Johnson who is now a senior Senator of Nimba County.
Senator Prince Johnson told a local daily yesterday that there are plans by the family of the late President to eliminate him and specifically said the plan was being put together by the wife of the late President, Mrs. Nancy Doe and the Family spokesman George W. Wright.
Senator Johnson claimed that the elimination plan is to take place while he is giving his testimony before the TRC.
However, the Doe family denied the allegation and alleged that Senator Johnson, while serving as head of the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL) committed a number of massacres that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) have not recognized.
The family spokesman, Wright alleged that after the death of former President Samuel Doe, the West African Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) attempted taking into exile some of their kinsmen but Prince Johnson intersected and took them to his Caldwell base where they were massacred. He alleged that this happened on two occasions.
He said the TRC must also take serious these massacres because the then INPFL leader Prince Johnson masterminded them.
On Senator Prince Johnson making peace with the Doe family in Nigeria, Mr. Wright said, "He forced the people to make peace and we stand for peace. However since he returned to Liberia he has been boasting about killing Doe and those who commissioned him to do so; there is a need that we take legal action."
"We don't have any intension to kill him. He is running from his own shadow. This is the same thing he did when he said Cheaye Doe wanted to kill him," Mr. Wright said.
He added that Prince Johnson went on the air and accused Mrs. Nancy Doe of being demon-possessed, saying, "It is he, Prince Johnson who is demon-possessed because he has killed people."
"For the sake of peace, we want to inform the state that we do not want to kill Prince Johnson and he should not boast of having commandos to protect him because as a Senator, the state is protecting him.
|
At the TRC he would have the protection of state security. Let the state ask him to show his commandos," Mr. Wright concluded.
This is complete nonsense and BS. Stop creating problems for the country. The relatives of the people that Samuel Doe killed are also living and are saying nothing. Do you think their love ones don't deserve life? All the little kids he killed from Nimba, were they not human worth living? Do onto others as others will surely do unto you( daz exactly what Doe got).
I absolutely agreed with you. Time for the so-called bloodthirsty Doe's family to close it up and spare the nation further trouble. Mr. Wright needs to find something better that will earn him some honest living. He must stop his whinny because we all are tired hearing about Doe. If the family miss Doe, let them jump into the ocean!
Let's focus on progress, and progress only!
He who lives by the sword , shall die by the sword,To all the Doe's family, I say to you your son, brother and father's sins might follow you 'al too.Doe was a vampire whose food was just blood. He got the right treatment for his disease. May his soul burn in hell.
I think prince should finish the mission, cuz this family is planning to distroy this country through charles julu and other.

It seems to me that your response is solely based on tribal line. This is exactly what many Liberians are trying to route out of our society. Doe is not being judge because he was from a different tribe but rather, based on his conduct in office. Those that went against him did so because he had turned the nation into tribalism and blood bath, and had created an atmosphere which was no longer conducive for many Liberians. You must learn to review the entire facts that surround the individual and or the circumstance rather than just focus one aspect... [Read Full Text]
Mr. George wright, it seems as though you're out of your damn mind.It is inconceivable for anyone in his right mind to wonder why was killer Doe killed. You must probably be going out of your mind, or perharps you were not born at the time killer Doe was in power in Liberia, or better still you were just a baby growing up during the ten years of the Doe regime. If this is the reason of your ignorance, you need to do some research and learn about the killer Doe regime. Shame on you to question anybody for... [Read Full Text]
Can the Tolbert family also sue the Doe Family because Doe killed the Tolbert family's father, brother, uncle & leader ???
This is all ignorant bullshit, Liberia has got much bigger problems to deal with instead of family feuds & revenge.
Do anyone in this world think that killing is for nothing? Are people that aree talking against the Doe family serious? To me it is a good thing to talk Prince Johnson to tasks, because he did killed. Samuel Doe did killed too before he became pre3sident of Liberia, but if he was to be alive today, it would had been a good thing to take him to task too, but since he's not, let those who are alive face the court. I say ye to Prince Johnson going to caurt. He disgrace the whole Liberianjh nation by... [Read Full Text]
