The Moyamba Human Rights Defenders Network (Moyamba HRDN) has expressed deep concern over the tragic death of Alex Foyoh Will, reportedly a victim of mob justice. The statement was issued in a press release dated 25th October 2025.

According to Moyamba HRDN, reliable sources and disturbing footage indicate that Alex Foyoh Will was beaten to death in Rotifunk, Bumpeh Chiefdom, Moyamba District, on October 24, 2025. The deceased was allegedly given money to purchase Tramadol but reportedly failed to do so, after which a group of individuals allegedly attacked him, resulting in his death.

The HRDN is calling on authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation to ensure justice is served. The network warned that mob justice is a growing concern in communities, reflecting deep-seated distrust in the formal justice system.

“This issue must be addressed to hold accountable those responsible for this reprehensible act and to protect the fundamental human rights of all individuals,” the statement read.
