MONROVIA – The Liberian Senate has condemned the act of violence meted on the headquarters of the National Elections Commission (NEC) on 9th Street, Sinkor and Associate Justice Joseph Nagbe in Brewerville by known individuals. The arson attack on the NEC occurred the night hours of March 15 leading to the complete burning of pickup truck and the partial burning of the garage. The attack on the NEC occurred a week after similar attack was meted on the residence of the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. According to the Senate, the throwing of petrol bombs and other lethal objects in recent times at the home of Associate Justice Nagbe and the NEC “is an attack our democracy and it is totally unacceptable”. The Liberian Senate has therefore urged the Liberia National Police to be more vigilant aimed at protecting the NEC, and the three branches of government.
