Liberia’s President George Weah has declared a three-day state of national mourning following the tragic and heavy loss of lives in a stampede in New Kru Town outside Monrovia.
The stampede is reported to have taken place during an open-air church service in the area, according to Liberia’s Executive Mansion website.
Meanwhile, President Weah ordered the national flag to be flown at half-mast at all public buildings throughout the Republic while the nation mourns for the loss of lives in the religious event.
