Monrovia, Liberia — The leadership of the House of Representatives of Liberia has summoned key security officials to appear before Plenary next week amid mounting concerns over reports of a group identified as the “National Fula Security of Liberia.”
Those cited include the heads of the Ministry of Justice, the National Security Agency, and the Liberia National Police, who are expected to clarify the legal standing and activities of the reported entity.
The decision follows separate communications from lawmakers Taa Wongbe and Luther Collins, who alerted Plenary to growing media reports alleging that the group is being organized and trained as a community-based protection structure.
While some narratives suggest the initiative may be lawful, legislators say unanswered questions remain regarding the group’s identity, structure, training, and whether it has received any official authorization.
Members of the House stressed that Liberia’s past makes issues of national security particularly sensitive. They emphasized that the Constitution assigns responsibility for national defense and security solely to recognized state institutions.
According to lawmakers, any body perceived as operating outside this framework — especially one viewed as ethnically aligned — must be examined promptly to avoid undermining public trust or national cohesion.
The summoned agencies are expected to brief the House on whether the group is legally sanctioned, what oversight mechanisms exist, and what steps have been taken to maintain peace and public confidence.
The House leadership reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding constitutional order and national unity, noting that effective legislative oversight remains essential to preserving security and stability for all Liberians.
