Margibi County, Liberia – The National Chairman of Kapao Security Liberia, Ambassador Emmanuel Godsent Hitler, has appealed to the Liberian government to prioritize members of Kapao Security Liberia during ongoing and future recruitments for the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) and the Liberia National Police (LNP).
Amb. Hitler made the call over the weekend in Margibi County during a program marking his birth anniversary, which brought together several community leaders, security officers, and youth advocates. The event was held to raise awareness against drug addiction in Liberia.
According to Amb. Hitler, members of Kapao Security have already been supporting both the LDEA and LNP in their daily operations across the country and deserve recognition and inclusion in formal recruitment processes.
“We’ve already started helping the LDEA and the Police,” he stated passionately. “Why can’t they prioritize us during recruitments? I’m calling on the government to support Kapao Security Liberia so that we can continue to help fight drugs and protect lives and properties in this country.”
Kapao Security Liberia is a community-watch / private security / civic-security initiative in Liberia that assists in crime-prevention, especially during night-hours, often in collaboration with the Liberia National Police.
The National Chairman, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Human Aid International, emphasized the importance of collaboration among all security institutions in tackling the growing drug menace that continues to destroy the lives of many young Liberians.
He urged Liberians to show respect to members of the country’s security forces, particularly the police, instead of showing hostility or arrogance toward them.
“Why are you fighting the Police?” he asked in an emotional tone. “The Police are the first people we call when we are in trouble. They are here to protect us, not to harm us.”
Speaking on the alarming rise of drug abuse in Liberia, Amb. Hitler called on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and his administration to take more decisive action in addressing the problem.
“Drugs are really killing our people, Mr. President,” he lamented. “In most of the ghettos I’ve visited, I see sorrow and hopelessness in the faces of our brothers and sisters. You promised to rescue them ~ please don’t forget.”
The event, attended by security personnel and local leaders, was not only a birthday celebration but also a platform to raise awareness about the dangers of drug addiction and to promote stronger community cooperation with national security agencies.
Amb. Hitler reaffirmed his organization’s commitment to supporting government efforts in maintaining peace, security, and the fight against drugs across Liberia.
