It has been more than a month since the government of Liberia lifted its siege on West Point. Jubilant residents were seen celebrating and chanting “the government says, no Ebola is in West Point, no Ebola is in West Point” as they marched down Liberia’s largest slum. Home to at least 50,000 people, the West Point slum has been the center controversy over the devastating Ebola outbreak. Since the demilitarization of the community, new stories have emerged about the event that led to the shooting of three unarmed young men. Tmz Liberia Magazine has obtained a heart-wrenching video interview from one of the alleged victim of the brutal crackdown in West Point.

The victim, who identified himself as Titus Nuahn, explained what transpired on August 20th in a six minute video interview given to Tmz Liberia Magazine. He begins with “What kind of hospital will discharge you in such condition---I am not suppose be discharged in this condition, but I was forced to leave the hospital”; showing the colostomy bag on his side. The shirtless young man gave detail about how he was shot in the stomach twice by an (AFL) soldier.

Now left with complication from the bullet wounds, Titus uses a colostomy bag as a means of defecating. He also told Tmz Liberia Magazine that he has not received proper medical attention, and was afraid this his condition could get worse. With shortage of medical staff and an Ebola epidemic that is spreading rapidly, family members are concern that Titus could end up like the late Shakie Kamara, who died earlier from a gunshot wound in the leg.

Meanwhile, unconfirmed report coming from West Point claimed that President Sirleaf convoy was stoned by angry mob when she paid a visit to the other two victims on Saturday.
