Temple of Justice- Peach Bility, son of Nimba County District 7 lawmaker Musa Hassan Bility has vowed to turn new leaf and become an advocate against drug abuse after serving time behind bars for drug-related offenses.
During a sentencing hearing held Tuesday before Judge Joe S. Barcon, Bility openly admitted his involvement in drug use and pleaded for leniency, requesting the minimum sentence allowed by law.
He told the court that his descent into addiction began through consistent exposure to peers who regularly used drugs.
Bility described his arrest and subsequent incarceration as a wake-up call, saying the experience had deeply affected him.
“I’ve lost family, opportunities, and more than I can explain,” he said. “But I’ve also found clarity. I want to change and help others avoid the path I took.”
Expressing remorse for his past, Bility committed to rebuilding his life and using his story to discourage drug use, particularly among young people.
Judge Barcon acknowledged Bility’s statement and is expected to issue a final sentencing decision later this week.
The case has highlighted the broader challenges of drug addiction in Liberia, sparking renewed calls for rehabilitation programs and community outreach efforts.
