Ben Town — Residents of Ben Town, Marshall Road in Margibi County have complained of being brutalized by officers of the Police Emergency Response unit (ERU) on the alleged order of Police Director Chris Massaquoi.

According to the residents, officers of the Liberian National Police ransacked their town last week and beat on residents of the area in the name of eviction order from the court that was not visible in favor of some families who are claiming ownership of over 45 acres of land.
