Gbarqueta, Gbarpolu/Lofa Bridge, Grand Cape Mount – In Lofa Bridge an almond tree stands by a mosque and a shop. Jabbateh received a sentence of 30 years for lying to US immigration officials about his role in the war, the maximum sentence available. While in Lofa Bridge, he traded diamonds and gold, locals say, and he looted anything. A visitor here may be confused as to Jabbateh’s character when arriving at the “Jungle Jabbah” Bridge here. “Yes, he supposed to go to jail,” exclaims Wanner of Lofa Bridge.
