A scene from disturbances at PYJ’s funeral in Nimba
By Thomas Domah, Nimba County
Ganta, January 17, 2025/ Street girls or prostitutes who reportedly trooped from Monrovia, Grand Bassa, Lofa and Bong counties to Ganta, Nimba County for the burial ceremony of the late Senator PYJ are engaged in serious fight with their colleagues in the county over male customers.
Those they met on the ground are contending that they will not allow street girls from other counties to dominate their business, especially with guests from Monrovia arriving there for the burial rite.
Tension flared among the call girls following news of the presence of high-power government delegations alongside former President George Weah and supporters.
The commercial sex workers are usually at each other’s throats in the vibrant commercial district for customers, but no one had thought that they would not spare a solemn gathering such as burial of a statesman in plying the world’s oldest profession.
There has been no arrest, as state security, officials of government, lawmakers, most of whom are married, are their target in the social fight. Editing by Jonathan Browne
