Rampaging elephants who  launched valiance of  attacks against River Cess Citizens  a month ago have left many persons  displaced, and are reportedly said to be in search of new homes, food and  shelter,   as well as  clothing and   medication .

River-Cess County Representative Jerry Masahn made the revelation recently in Monrovia  about the destructive nature  of the wide elephants who he said,  have  caused his kinsmen to flee their towns and villages  and were displaced in Mass numbers  seeking refuge in Nezohn and  other nearby surrounding towns  in the area, something he said,   is  troubling  and requires  urgent attention  from the  government and its partners to save his people from further disaster.

About a month ago, wide elephants got on the rampage in River-Cess County and  attacked facilities of a logging company operating in the area, extending  its aggressive conducts on high-Ways, villages  as well as  impeding  ongoing farming activities and  sending few persons to their early graves.

Reports gathered  from the county at the time  revealed that the  rampaging elephants merciless attacks against the people of River – Cess  was intended to place a stay order on the activities of the logging company operating in the area , who the reports said was refusing to abide  by the regulations of the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) by not employing citizens of the county, especially the district it was carrying on its logging activities.

Consequently, one of the  elephants  was killed three weeks ago by hunters, but Representative Jerry Masahn disclosed that the violent conduct of the elephants left behind many problems among which were the massive displacement of citizens of the county, as a result of the destruction of their towns and villages  including  the destruction of farms in the  county.

According to Rep. Masahn, his people whom were affected by the Elephants’ aggression were presently displaced and were sleeping in the open air without food and clothing, something he said, needed prompt intervention from government and other aid agencies to help  liberate his people who he said  were dying from pneumonia , starvation and other killer diseases from the heavy down pour of rain.

The River-Cess Lawmaker also revealed that Nezohn was jam packed with hundreds of displaced citizens as a consequence of the brutal and ruthless nature of the wide life, describing their situation as totally unbelievable and unacceptable.

He said as a result of the elephant invasion,  currently there is no food for his people to eat, no medication and worst of  all,  he  alarmed, children, women  and the elderly people  were  getting sick, and that if nothing was done to immediately rescue the alarming situation, his citizens stand the risk of dying in mass.

However, Rep. Jerry Masahn felt short of disclosing  how many of his kinsmen have died since their  displacement, but insisted  that many of his people  were dying   due to the heavy down pour of rain, diarrhea,  cholera and other killer diseases.
