By Monrovia–The High Command of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) has been apprised of distressing reports alleging the brutal beating of Jeremiah Beyan by some AFL personnel in Lofa County on May 13, 2024.
Taking immediate action, the High Command has assumed control of the matter, with a preliminary investigation currently underway by the 23rd Infantry Brigade.
The AFL unequivocally condemns this reprehensible display of indiscipline, unprofessionalism, and unlawfulness. Our deepest concern and compassion go out to Jeremiah Beyan and his family members during this difficult time.
We wish to reassure the victim, his family, and the general public that justice will be diligently and fairly pursued. Should any AFL personnel be found guilty as a result of the ongoing investigation, appropriate legal measures will be swiftly taken.
