Koijee’s Death will be no loss to us: Costa instructs Liberians to go after Jefferson Koijee
Controversial Talk show host Henry Costa has once again hit beneath the belt, done the most inconceivable and most despicable or horrendous deed in contemporary Liberia since the cessation of the sounds of guns in 2003.
Accordingly, Costa who is contesting for the Senatorial seat of Montserrado comes in October of this year, recently called Citizens of Liberia to organize themselves into squads and terrorize Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson Koijee.
Doing his usual ranting on the Costa Show on March 6th, Costa was so apoplectic that viewers of the show had to indicate their perturbation by criticizing the utterances made by the Talkshow host.
In continuance, Costa has openly declared that if Liberians continue to sit by and allow Koijee to have his free will, then many good people will die based on Koijee’s orders.
Costa’s Asseveration:
“Violence against Koijee is the only thing that is going to stop Jefferson Koijee. I’m coming to Liberia, when I come to Liberia, you will see. I’m not making a threat against him, oh, but I’m saying this the only thing that can stop Jefferson Koijee from killing more people, is violence against Koijee. This Boy is bad, this Boy has murdered too many people.
If we cannot frighten Jefferson Koijee, if we cannot speak the language that Koijee understands, that boy will kill more people. That Boy will kill more good, good people for nothing. If your think I’m joking, you leave Koijee there, let Koijee be killing more good people left and right. Koijee is a waste. He adds nothing to society. If Koijee dies, it will be no loss to us. As a matter of fact, it will be good, greatness. I just said what I said and I did not stutter. The only thing that Koijee understands, is violence. If we cannot use violence to frighten Jefferson Koijee, Koijee is like the Hunter in the forest, all the animals are afraid of him. If one animal or a group of animals, cannot frighten the Hunter; and turn the Hunter into the hunted, the Hunter will continue to hunt the Animals the prey. If Koijee cannot be frightened, if Koijee cannot be responded to in the language Koijee understands, Koijee will cause more harm, Koijee will threaten more people, Koijee will kill more people. If Koijee wakes up and there are petrol bombs in his yard if Koijee wakes up and people are stoning him in communities where he goes or at night. Koijee will come to himself.
If you think I’m joking play Democracy or play nice with a bloodthirsty, morally depraved animal like Jefferson Koijee. Frighten that Boy that’s the only way or else, get prepared for more lives to be lost. The Police will not help you, the Justice system will not help you when it comes to Koijee. Weah is afraid of Koijee “; exclaimed Henry Costa.
That being said, after the statements were made by Costa, many Liberians began to berate talkshow host Costa.
Ordinary Liberians’ thoughts:
“Henry Costa is simply trying to stir up trouble. He is such a big liar” Said Marie Keane of Red light market.
“This Costa man, something must be wrong with him. Just because he wants to become Senator of Montserrado, that is why he is making up all these bad, bad things. against the mayor” Proclaimed James Kiaser of Doe Community.
“As for me I think Henry Costa might have some information but equally it is wrong for him to call on Liberians to do violence it is totally wrong”. Explained Rodger Williams of ELWA.
“I am sick and tired of all the “you say, I say’ if Costa got evidence on Mayor Koijee why can’t he come forth and reveal them in the court”? Asked Jestina Moore of Waterside.
To continue, it would be a good thing to not just accuse people without the necessary information to attest to those claims.
According to a 54-year-old Security veteran who chose to remain incognito, the current trend of accusation levied by Henry Costa is extremely important and should not be taken likely because it has the predisposition to tarnish the reputation of Jefferson Koijee.
Political Commentator’s Opinion:
“If Henry Costa is sure about his claims about the activities of Koijee, then why can’t he send that classified information to an independent body to investigate the City mayor?
If Costa, is confident and has pieces of evidence then the best thing to do is to come forth out of the dark and clear the doubt. But again, Costa is noted for fabricating a lot of lies also so, this calls for a very painstaking investigation” Professed the veteran Security expert.
As the news of the death threat against the Lord Mayor of the City of Monrovia, spreads like a heatwave and wildfires, it is highly recommended that no matter the situation, calling for violence against Jefferson Koijee is entirely wrong because Liberians saw the devastating effect of violence during the 14 years of civil unrest and up till present its impact is still being felt. No more should blood be shed in the streets, and no more should people incite the population to engage in acts of arson, vandalism, looting, maiming, or propagate messages of scorn or disdain. If Costa wants to become Senator of Montserrado how can he be telling voters to become violent within just a few months to the election? Liberians, it’s time to take up, smell the Coffee, say no to violence, and continue on the path of peace that many Peace Keepers give their precious lives for just so that we may be free.
