GANTA, Nimba County~Nimba County Police Commander, ACP Larmie Mendin, has extended heartfelt sympathy to the family of Roland Johnson, who was allegedly killed on the Ganta–Gbahn Highway on Monday.
Commander Mendin condemned the brutal act and pledged a thorough investigation to ensure justice is served. Reports indicate that Johnson was not a commercial motorcyclist at the time of the incident, contradicting earlier claims.
In a strong message to the public, ACP Mendin also criticized individuals believed to be motorcyclists who exhumed Johnson’s remains under the pretense of seeking justice. He labeled the act as unlawful and deeply disrespectful.
“We strongly condemn such behavior and urge all residents to remain calm. The police will ensure justice is delivered,” Mendin stated.
He further called on the aggrieved residents of Ganta to remain peaceful and avoid taking the law into their own hands. According to Mendin, peace has now been restored in Ganta following earlier tensions and protests sparked by the killing.
“The situation is under control,” he assured. “There is a strong police presence in Nimba to maintain peace and order. We encourage all residents to return to their normal activities without fear.”
Authorities have yet to disclose any arrests or persons of interest in the case, but police say investigations are ongoing.
