Report says Obadiah Garbee pointed the gun at his big brother after family confusion broke out among them and the Poro master [country devil] intervened to investigate the two in the Poro shrine. Both of them were accordingly charged seven animals (livestock) with L$8,500.00, which caused Nelson Garbee to escape to seek justice from the Liberia National Police. Based on the complaint from the Town Chief, the two police officers were sent to enforce an arrest, but citizens of the town insisted that the country devil was in control and therefore forced the two officers out of the town. A similar incident occurred in 2019 when some police officers had gone to enforce an arrest in Ganta. In early 2019 country devil allegedly flogged to death a 33-year-old man, Samuel Mansuo in Zuoplay Town in Doe Administrative district near Tappita in eastern Nimba.
