In the imagination of its pioneer there would be a school for both Liberia and Sierra Leone students under the rubric Global Village Academy. To that end a land was secured in 2011 after full payment of 200 USD made to local authorities of Jendema, precisely the Kemokai Zombo familes. The two town land is located at Ngupkeyummba in Jendema.
Albert Baron Ansu is the proprietor of the proposed Global Village Academy and explains that the twin effects of Ebola and COVID 19 are factors that have derailed the project. Beyond the nefarious action of one con artiste by the name of Alhaji Kadara whose track record of encroaching on land in Liberia and his resident locality to have applied same criminal tactics in the proposed planned school project of Global Village Academy is even a derailing factor for the establishment of the said school.
Last time in 2018, he had the daringness to jump in the foundation of Global Village Academy claiming that portion of his land his adjacent land has been encroached. The ridiculous thing about the Kadara criminal conduct is that he has no document of ownership. He also lacks the support of the land owning family supposedly his uncles who have denied his claim to the land in favor of the Global Village Academy.
Proprietor of the land had formally complained Kadara to the Paramount Chief Mohamed Jengeh Massaquoi. As a paramount Chief of astute integrity and opposed to fraud, he had advised that a the land be demarcated under the watch of the land owners and the district land officer Mr. Kobe There had been consisted effort to get Kadara to respond to the call to no avail. He has been dodgy but suddenly resurfaced with thugs to brush the entire land space containing the foundation of Global Village Academy, claiming it even as he has nothing to show for it.
Proprietor of Global Vllage Academy Albert Baron Ansu says this is brazen act of criminality that he is poised to challenge using due process of the law.
“As first step we are going to have the lands officer in Pujehun work with the land owners to demarcate the land and thereafter we consider legal action to compel the rogue Kadara hands off our land,” Ansu has disclosed.
Eldest of the surviving landowning family Mohamed Bondokai Zombo and his younger brother have signed the plan of Global Village Academy. It is an attestation the fact the proposed school is right fully claimant. This was done in the full glare of the CID at Jendema by the name of Ellie.
“Kadara want to put us in bad light to extent that we as local authorities are double dealing, he did not any land we offered him a place that he has sold out to people, “Old man Mohamed Bondokai stated.
Babadi Zombo who at the time of the sales of the land to Albert Baron Ansu surveyed the land is ready to serve as witness in support of the proposed Global Village Academy.
We have gathered that Kadra is actually fronting for some faceless criminal cartel operating in Sorogbeima and bent on sabotage. The cartel has a lot of categories but their cowardice to show up is a sufficient indication of their illegitimate claim to the land in question. So they are using Kadara as the pawn in the chess game because he has the track record of indulging in such fiasco whether it means he is threading of ice.
Ansu says: “But their game is up as we have pack of surprises to spring for them in so far as this government is one with a clear cut policy of de-emphasizing land conflict based on the right course of dealing in land to deescalate tension.”
