MONROVIA, Oct. 21 (LINA) – The Liberia National Police (LNP) has arrested and is currently investigating thirty (30) Sierra Leone nationals at Bo Waterside for allegedly entering Liberia without proper documents.
The spokesman of the Liberia National Police (LNP) Sam Collins, on Monday, October 19, 2026 told reporters that the arrested individuals told investigators that they were headed to Sinoe County for mining activities.
He disclosed that the 30 Sierra Leone nationals are currently being investigated by both Liberia and Sierra Leone Joint Security forces.
He promised to update the public on the findings of the investigation as new information emerges.
In another development, Collins told reporters that the LNP has lifted the suspension of five police officers since 13, October 2026.
He disclosed that the lifting up of their suspension follows the expiration of their respective suspensions period in compliance with restitution issues recommended by the professional standards department.
“These officers were suspended after members of the public complained to the Police; the investigation established by the Professional Standard Division that they breached the police duty manual” the LNP official stated.
He noted that the officers involved included, Temal B. White, inspector Carsinoe D. Margi, Williams P. Saye, Jerraymiah D. Mande and patrol Paul S. Julu, adding that the suspension lasted for six months.
He added that while the office permits the officers to resume their official duties, the LNP administration cautioned them against any recurrence of misconduct that undermines the professionalism, discipline and integrity of the LNP.
