NIMBA COUNTY, LIBERIA – A tragic incident has shaken the community of the Nimba Rubber Incorporated (NRI), formerly Cocopa Rubber Plantation. Recently, Morris Gono, a chief mechanic in his 40s, has reportedly committed suicide.
According to sources, the incident followed a legal dispute with his former wife over child support, which led to Gono being sent to jail. The pressure and circumstances surrounding his imprisonment appear to have driven him to take his own life while incarcerated.
