With barely 21 days to the October 10 polls, an independent representative aspirant of Nimba County Electoral District #7 was pronounced dead yesterday at the Jackson F. Doe Memorial Hospital in Tappita, Lower Nimba County. A medical report doctors at the hospital released to the family confirmed that Morris Kardiker Sanoe died of “cardiac respiratory arrest,” but family members and supporters are attributing his death to “African science, probably from a close relative.”
Mourning his loss are his mother Ma Payla, his widow, Mayamou Kromah Sanoe, sister Masalone, a brother, William N. Dahn (also a representative candidate in the same district), and a host of other relatives, most of whom live in Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA.
What is so sad about Sanoe’s death, sympathizers lamented, is that he had received his campaign materials, including the printed T-shirts and flyers in Ganta not too long before his demise.
News of the death of Sanoe, who hails from Gblah, a town lying east of Bahn, a provincial city of Zoe-Geh, sent residents, mainly the women, wailing uncontrollably to the extent that those who were attending Bahn’s Monday market cycle abandoned their trading and beat their breasts in disbelief.
Sanoe had completed his electoral process with the National Elections Commission (NEC) as an independent candidate and was confirmed qualified to contest.
The independent candidates are those running for office without political endorsements from any party. The launch of the deceased’s campaign was scheduled for next Saturday, September 23 in Bahn.
Sanoe reportedly complained of acute joint pains and was rushed to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead late Sunday, a family source told the Daily Observer via mobile phone.
His remains are in the hospital’s mortuary. His supporters and friends meanwhile are in contact with his wife and other family members residing in the USA.
Many people hearing the news of Morris’ death yesterday expressed disbelief and disappointment, describing it as “a mystery of a typical African doing.”
My sympathy to the Family!
That’s a sad news.
RIP
My sympathy to the family and supporters. RIP.
They kill my uncle 😭😭😭

R I P brother
OMG!!very sad
Of course Liberians can never die of natural causes. This man had family in the US but running in Liberia and he was overweight. many Liberians eat fufu all day or oily food and then go to sleep. He was fat and he died. I am sorry for his family but we have to stop talking about juju.
Sando, It’s irresponsible and certainly naive for one to characterised a person you barely know but jumping into conclusion of his body weight. You probably should remain salience rather than posting rubbish.
Sorry to hear of the family’s loss. I pray they find the answers needed for peace. Layee, we love you and are here for you.
It is so regretful that The Great County of Nimba has lost another son. RIP Morris, we will always remember the good deeds you performed. Good bye!
Greetings,
Death de hard to bear no matter who de blame. Make e rest peacefully in God’s memory, until which time Nimba go come back. Make you find some comfort from John 5: 28,29.
