Saweler told the Daily Observer in a telephone interview yesterday that the young people were adamant on their demands, claiming that Margibi County Sports Association owed them U$250 each. “They could not see reason as vehicles piled up against each other on Kakata Highway,” Saweler said. He noted that as the situation deepened, police officers who were called to the scene could not be of no help. Saweler said the situation lasted for at least three hours and he and his group were able to leave Kakata for Monrovia at 2:00 PM. “It was a sad story as police officers just stood there as the young people held everyone hostage,” he said.
