The disabled who claimed to have been homeless owing to discourteous and inhuman consideration of Mayor Williams, barricaded State Avenue in protest of 50 of their homeless colleagues.<\/p>\n
The protesters were observed displaying placards that read: “we need shelter Mr. President. Our colleagues have been made homeless. Tell Mayor Herbert to do his job well etc.”<\/p>\n
The disabled say they were living a peaceful life at a house at ECOWAS Street, but received a\u00a0court order to quit.<\/p>\n
It is disclosed that the order was issued in line with Mayor Herbert Williams’ request to have disabled persons evicted from the house.<\/p>\n
As disabled persons converged on the street that leads to State House, emotions changed after the arrival of President Koroma.<\/p>\n
That President Koroma respectfully read through quotations on placards and later invited the spokesperson and team to his office at State House for a talk.<\/p>\n
Sources say that in the meeting between the President and the\u00a0team of disabled, it was resolved that all 50 or more homeless persons should be provided with shelter.<\/p>\n
