Monrovia – Three officers of the Armed Forces of Liberia and one civilian are currently undergoing investigation by the Liberia National Police in collaboration with Military Police, in connection to alleged armed robbery. The three AFL officers who are at the center stage of the joint investigation at the Liberia National Police Headquarters in Monrovia were reportedly picked up on Wednesday, September 8, by police at the Duport Road Market, following their alleged involvement with armed robbery activities in the Old Road area. He said, following their arrest, they were initially taken to the Zone-5 Depot in Paynesville for preliminary investigation and then transferred to the Liberia National Police Headquarters for investigation. However, he said there are witnesses from the community helping police with the investigation to establish whether those arrested are linked to the allegation of carrying out armed robbery. Carter said the AFL and LNP are not taking the allegation lightly, because it borders on the image of the country’s security sector.
