Monrovia — In the shadow of the imposing Liberia National Police (LNP) Headquarters, a group of journalists are standing at the gates, cameras in hand, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to cover a high-profile investigation.

Inside, opposition lawmakers Abu Kamara and Dixon Seboe of the Coalition of Democratic Change (CDC) are being questioned in connection with last year’s devastating arson attack at the Capitol Building.
Officers stationed at the entrance firmly denied journalists access, offering no clear explanation for the restriction.
The reasons behind the decision remained as elusive as the investigation itself, leaving many to wonder: What is being kept behind the walls of the LNP Headquarters?
This latest development adds yet another layer of intrigue to a case that has already captivated the nation.
Kamara and Seboe are among a group of seven lawmakers, all connected to the minority bloc, who have been identified by the police as persons of interest in the arson case.
But it’s not just the two lawmakers’ participation in the questioning that has drawn attention.
The names of several prominent figures have surfaced, adding further complexity to the investigation. Among them is embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. J. Fonati Koffa. Alongside him are Representatives Saah Foko, Priscilla A. Cooper, Mervin Cole, and Jacob C. Debee — all vocal critics within the minority bloc.
The lawmakers have been challenging the legitimacy of Richard Koon’s election as Speaker, a position they argue should belong to Koffa.
As the investigation into the arson case unfolds, the silence surrounding the questioning of these lawmakers has left the public in a state of suspense.
For now, the journalists are left to wait, hoping for a glimpse of the answers that lie hidden in this complex and ever-evolving story.
