Explaining his ordeal to reporters, Zogbay said during his arrest, he was badly treated but did not state how he managed to escape while in cuff.
According to him, when he managed to escape, he went to one of his brothers in Harbel, Margibi County and later moved to Monrovia where he stayed up the August.
The mysterious disappearance of the MOE employee provoked public outcry in the Zahn region with some pointing accusing fingers at Magistrate Victoria Gbalazeh of the Duo magisterial court who is on record for subjecting citizens to inhumane treatment whenever lawsuit is filed against them.
When citizens in the area took up the matter with the supreme Court, Magistrate Gbalazeh was asked to recuse herself while the high court launches investigation into circumstances surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the classroom teacher and the reported ill-treatment of citizens by her.
