Nimba County — A supporter of the opposition Unity Party, who was recently flogged in Nimba County by 11 men believed to be members of Dordeh Movement of former Representative Garrison Yealue, Jr. is currently receiving medication at the JFK Medical Center in Monrovia.

Former Representative Yealue is current chairman of the Governance Commission.

The victim, Daniel Marzar, is a citizen of Loelay Town in Gbeh -lay-Geh administrative district. Marzar was on his way to Karnplay City when just a few minutes' walk from the city, he was allegedly flogged by 11 men believed to be supporters of Yealue.

The victim told reporters that he had not been in conflict with his attackers prior to the incident, but their decision to allegedly flog him was based on his refusal to support the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change against the UP.

Since the start of campaign, this is the second violent incident in Gbeh - lay -Gweh administrative district.

Addressing reporters, Nimba District#3 Representative Joseph Nya Somwarbi, condemned the attack on Daniel Marzar by the group, Dordeh Movement.

Representative Somwarbi explained that he gathered that there was confrontation between supporters of former Representative Garrison Yealue and Victim Daniel Marzar.

"Like us continue to remain peaceful, election will come and go, but the relationship is very much important - District#3 is the only home of the ruling CDC that remains a loyal party focused on peace so we regret the situation", he said.

According to him, his presence in the district will help to bring peace among his people.

Meanwhile, Representative Somwarbi has assured President George Weah of overwhelming victory in October, noting that President Weah will win in the first round of voting.
