Former Liberian Warlord Secretly Receiving Treatment in Kenya

Former Liberian warlord-turned-evangelist, Joshua Milton Blahyi, also known as General Butt Naked, is reportedly undergoing medical treatment in Kenya.

According to family sources who spoke to the Liberian media outlet The New Dawn, Blahyi had been receiving treatment at John F. Kennedy Medical Center (JFK) in Liberia but showed little improvement. As a result, he was transferred to Kenya for advanced medical care.

Due to his deteriorating condition, his family has called on Liberians to join them in prayer for his recovery.

Reports indicate that he is currently receiving treatment related to kidney complications in Nairobi.

General Butt Naked has been battling an undisclosed illness for months.

The illness comes as Liberian President Joseph Boakai’s administration advances plans to establish a War and Economic Crimes Court (WECC).

While some believe his condition is simply due to aging and past injuries, others speculate about a possible plot to eliminate him before prosecution.

His declining health coincides with that of Prince Y. Johnson, who fell ill and passed away as efforts to establish the WECC progressed.

Johnson, widely known for his involvement in the brutal execution of President Samuel Doe, had long been an influential figure in Liberian politics.

Another former rebel leader whose health is deteriorating is Sekou Damate Konneh. The former leader of the Liberia United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) is reportedly in poor health.

Several media reports indicate that Konneh has been seen looking very frail and is believed to be suffering from the effects of a stroke.
