Description |
Towards the end of December 2014, rioters attacked and looted the homes of managers of the No Way Camp, Marloi Township, in Grand Bassa County, after paying to obtain jobs at the gold mine but being denied work and refund of fees paid. Security guards at the mining site opened fire on the rioters and allegedly killed an unspecified number of people. A dozen men fled and jumped into a 40-foot gold pit and died when a dirt wall fell on top of them. Government security has been deployed to the camp and the camp has been closed indefinitely. At least 20 dead. |
