MONROVIA – In a firm demonstration of its commitment to integrity and professionalism, the Liberia National Police (LNP) has taken decisive disciplinary actions against multiple officers implicated in a range of misconduct, from falsification of official documents and financial impropriety to abuse of authority and criminal behavior.
The LNP’s Professional Standards Department concluded weeks of investigations with a comprehensive list of penalties issued in a press release on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, signed by Police Spokesperson Cecelia G. Clarke. The report revealed a pattern of serious ethical breaches within the ranks, prompting suspensions, dismissals, salary deductions, and criminal referrals.
Two officers, Inspector Wolobah Johnson and Patrol Lady Sangai J. Kollie, were indefinitely suspended without pay for failing to honor promissory notes tied to financial obligations, a violation deemed an abuse of authority. In separate cases, falsification of police clearance documents led to two-month and one-month suspensions without pay for Chief Inspector Samuel S. D. Nepay II and Patrol Lady Sweetlee M. R. Flumo, respectively.
Meanwhile, in Rivercess County, a high-ranking officer, ACP Duotay Serker, was suspended and relieved of his post for giving an unlawful order that allegedly led to the collapse of the ITI Bridge in December 2024. Inspector Eric Zor, implicated in the same incident, was suspended after reportedly accepting L$15,000 to execute that unlawful directive.
In a more alarming case involving alleged criminal behavior, CIP Johnny C. Sargbah was interdicted and turned over to the Crime Services Department following accusations that he stoned and damaged the Lifeline Ministries International building. Similarly, Superintendent Lexington Beh faces an indefinite suspension and must provide full restitution after unlawfully detaining and assaulting a civilian, Miss Patience Wulu.
Additional violations include the unauthorized discharge of a firearm by Patrolman Alieu A. Kenneh, who has been dismissed and placed under investigation. Other cases involved officers who committed insubordination, abandoned posts, misused entrusted funds, or made wrongful accusations, leading to a range of disciplinary outcomes including salary deductions and temporary suspensions.
Despite the gravity of the misconduct, the LNP emphasized its ongoing commitment to upholding public trust by holding its officers accountable. The recent actions serve as a warning that the force is unwilling to tolerate any breach of its code of conduct.
The police administration reiterated that enforcing internal discipline remains central to restoring public confidence and maintaining order within the force.
