One Justin Oldpa Yeazean, commonly known as Prophet Key, is to serve a six-month jail term at the Monrovia Central prison (MCP) as ordered by the Supreme Court.
Prophet Key is imprisoned for accusing members of the court for “viruses”
in the judicial system given what he called deliberate stalling the ‘free flow’ of justice thereby, hindering the interest of the state.
In his usual style of venting profanity as a way of seeking popularity, the self-styled prophet abused the mother of the Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay in his usual unpolished tone, which never ever respects the existence of culture and tradition. In journalism, we say “fact check,” but Prophet Key don’t care as far his accusation of individuals are concerned.
One may not be wrong to describe Prophet Key as a “prophet” from the devil kingdom, as opposed to those in whose hearts the fear of God dwells, thereby, being spiritually mindful and cautious in society.
Like the hostile whirlwind, which respects no giant size tree, Prophet Key’s profanity knows no border, knows no distinguished personality, and knows no value for culture and tradition; something which is not only attributed to the character of Prophet Key alone, but scores of people in the society.
Although the Supreme Court has brought down to his disgrace the self-style Prophet Key for attacking its integrity, it is important to be reminded that there are more Prophet Keys still in the society, who only take pleasure in exhibiting public nuisance; feel they’re above the law, think freedom of speech and expression give them the sole right to do anything as they wish.
No doubt, there are scores of self-styled political propagandists operating under the guise as being talk show hosts, who would shamelessly insult public officials without any respect to tradition and culture, a habit which has, and continues to prove to the outside world that Liberia is being held hostage by hostile environment where political power struggle is outdoing peaceful coexistence.
Now that the Supreme Court has set the precedent, it’s our hope that such precedent will be enforced to the letter against all those, who take pleasure in misusing the right granted by freedom of speech and expression to abuse other people, who see the use of profanity as a way of gaining popularity, etc.
Mr. Prophet Key, send your 6 months in peace while serving his jail term, but please, stop the unnecessary insults and ma cuss.
