Christians and traditional elders from Malawu Town of Lofa County came close to resolving their conflict when at the end of a two day hearing; the Church's Pastor Kessselly Youkeh apologized to the elders for the ugly situation and begged for mercy and co-existence.

The Minister of Internal Affairs Morris M. Dukuly who mediated the hearing, along with Lofa County Superintendent George S. Duno, himself offered his apology to the town's elders.

Additional apologies also came from the Representative of the Liberia Council of Churches (LCC) Pastor James C. Koiboi, William V. Howard of Lofa Peace Council, Pastor David Zawu head of the Zorzor Union of Churches, Quardu-Gboni Paramount Chief Musa Kamara, Supt George Dunor and other citizens.

However, it was concluded that final decisions will be made and communicated to both parties when President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is thoroughly briefed by Internal Affairs Dukuly.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Dunor remains in charge until the final decisions and that all church activities in Malawu be suspended in line with an earlier moratorium issued by Lofa county Superintendent George S. Dunor. Calm has since returned to Malawu.
