Traditional leaders and eminent persons along the Montserrado-Margibi border have reported a potential land crisis in the area.
The group led by one Elder Morris Gaye alleged their land has been seized by for former Johnsonville Commissioner Joseph Berry.
Elder Gaye told Star Radio the former commissioner seized their land and used tugs armed with spears and cutlasses to scare them away.
According to him, the matter was brought to the attention of the Superintendent of Margibi but Mr. Berry has refused to withdraw from the area.
Other citizens of Montserrado residing in Johnsonville have also complained of similar encroachment on their properties by former Commissioner Berry.
The citizens called on government to intervene to avoid a repeat of the Tinbor incident where fourteen young men were butchered to death.
When contacted former Commissioner Berry said the case has already been taken to court and was awaiting its outcome.
