The Salala Rubber Corporation or SRC Plantation was allegedly set ablaze by 2:00 AM on January 28, 2025 by two individuals, the management has reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The individuals who are in police custody undergoing investigation were arrested by the plantation fire service team before being turned over to the Liberia National Police in Margibi County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arson suspects, Abraham Kpannah and Joe Bono are reported to have agreed to the fire attack against the plantation during preliminary investigation but did not say the motive behind their action orchestrated as early as 2:00 AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 150 rubber trees are fear burned, while the management calculates the damage caused by the fire to be more than US$35K. The SRC Plantation Management has however, issued a stern warning that the economic impact of such attack could lead to the closure of the plantation if the recurrences are done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This, the management urges could further lead to lose of jobs for the locals if the plantation is shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SRC which is now owned by Mr. Jetty, the owner of Jetty Rubber LLC was shutdown after arson and looting that caused a huge damage to the company in 2024 emanating from protesting workers’ dissatisfaction against the then management. This happened before Mr. Jetty bought and reopened the SRC, restoring hopes and creating jobs for some Liberians in that region of Margibi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
