LNP Relieves Senior Officer Over Alleged US$10,000 Bribe in Cocaine Case

The Liberia National Police (LNP) has relieved a senior officer of his post for allegedly accepting a US$10,000 bribe to provide preferential treatment and protection to two foreign nationals detained in connection with the US$317.68 million cocaine seizure. Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman identified the officer but did not release his name publicly. The bribe was intended to ensure lenient handling of the suspects involved in one of the largest drug busts in Liberia’s history. This action signals a crackdown on internal corruption within the police force, as authorities seek to restore public confidence in law enforcement operations.
