The widow of Nimba County Senator, Prince Y. Johnson (PYJ), has made outrageous revelations about her husband’s lifestyle.
She assigned many characteristics to the man, whose life was tangled with love for his wife with one child, now deceased.
She described Johnson as a man, who “ruined his own life, and later died broke as a controversial figure.”
During a recent phone interview, Mrs. Ameria Boyidee Aridi Johnson, claimed that Mr. Johnson was a “kidnapper,” who also “raped me at age 16, early 1991, during the height of the civil war, and later coerced me to Nigeria, where we encountered the late TB Joshua.”
Johnson died on Thursday, November 28, 2024, as a sitting senator for Nimba County. His burial was well attended, thus leaving a legacy as a “hero.”
But his widow told reporters that the former warlord, turned politician, left behind no personal property, bank account, or financial assets after more than 16 years in public office.
She said, despite Johnson’s long career as a politician, he “did not leave any money or property behind.” She refuted claims that the late PYJ had invested his earnings, insisting that “there was nothing left for the children or members of the family.”
Boyidee also made disturbing allegations regarding their relationship. She claimed that during the civil war in 1991, the late Senator kidnapped her, and took her to Nigeria, “where the late T.B. Joshua advised him to marry me, but he turned down Joshua’s counsel on marriage.”
She added that the only institutions associated with Senator Johnson’s name are two schools, located in the Duport Road Community, a church and the PYJ University, located in Ganta, Nimba County.
Also, Boyidee said: “None of these properties are registered in the names of his children, neither the PYJ Educational Foundation, nor the PYJ University, which also have no bank accounts.”
Boyidee disclosed that the late senator had nine children outside their courtship, “none of whom are beneficiaries of his properties.”
PYJ was a controversial figure in Liberian politics; known for his role during the civil war, and his later transformation into a political circle, and religious leader.
