The Liberia National Police (LNP) has condemned the alleged assault on a police officer captured in a video circulating on social media. The police described the incident as a serious act of violence that threatens public safety and undermines the rule of law.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the LNP said it is investigating the incident to establish the circumstances and identify those involved. The institution warned that anyone found responsible for criminal conduct would face legal action in accordance with Liberian law.
The police emphasized that no individual has the right to physically attack an officer, regardless of the circumstances. It said disagreements with law enforcement must be handled through lawful channels rather than violence.
Meanwhile, the LNP reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism, accountability, and respect for human rights, noting that officers are also required to operate within the law. The police urged the public to cooperate with the investigation and report any alleged misconduct through established complaint mechanisms.
