Nimba, Liberia, October 29, 2024 – An officer of the Liberia National Police assigned in Karnplay, Nimba County, has been officially pronounced dead by doctors at JFK Hospital in Monrovia.
The late Officer Elton W. Bahn, 45, met his death following a fistfight with a fellow Police Officer, 47-year-old Jeremiah Tarkpor.
The NEWDAWN gathered that both deceased Officer Elton W. Bahn and PSU 47-year-old Officer Jeremiah Tarkpor of the Police Support Union were eating in a group when PSU Officer Tarkpor took a chicken foot from the food and gave it to a colleague officer, who is not too well and is not allowed to eat with them.
