More than three hundred residents living under the Gabriel Tucker Bridge have appealed to President Sirleaf for additional nine months to relocate.

A spokesman for the Concerned Gabriel Tucker Bridge residents told Star Radio their removal at this time would disrupt the education of their children.

Madam Georgia Nyenpan denied reports that they were involved in criminal activities under the bridge.

Another woman of sixteen children Josephine Glenn appealed to president Sirleaf to remember the plight of women in the post-conflict country.

She told Star Radio the women were counting on the President to rescue them from the pending demolition of their dwelling places.
