spokesman of the Liberia National Police (LNP), Moses Carter, has been suspended for administrative reasons, local media has told Liberia Public Radio
Our gathered from the Press and Public Affairs office of the LNP that his suspension was a direct verbal order from the Inspector General of Police, Col. Patrick Sudue.
While the main action leading to his suspension remains unknown, LPR national correspondent in Monrovia quoted LNP sources that his suspension is linked to recent public statements relating to the July 26 political violence between the CDC-COP and the members of SUP. FrontPageAfrica has, however, not been able to verify this information.
Amid the public outcry for the arrest of perpetrators of the violence and humiliation of the SUP member Christopher W. Sivili, Carter told the public that police could not effect any arrest at the time because there was no complainant in the case.
When contacted, Carter said he has heard of his suspension but was yet to receive an official communication.
Earlier the police arrested seven persons in connection with the brutal action against peaceful protesters at the American Embassy near Monrovia in which one person was seriously wounded on July 26, 2022.
However, in a comment, LNP spokesman Moses Carter said the police didn’t receive any formal complaint and was not ready to take action.
