Liberia National Police Urges Calm and Respect for Rule of Law
(Monrovia, Liberia – August 22, 2025) At this critical moment in our nation’s democratic journey, the Liberia National Police (LNP) reaffirms its neutrality and commitment to upholding the rule of law.
The Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Liberia has issued a writ of possession ordering the eviction of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) from its headquarters. The LNP has been mandated to assist in executing this lawful order on Saturday, August 23, 2025.
As a professional institution, our role is constitutional, to preserve peace, protect lives, and ensure that the decisions of our courts are carried out without fear or favor.
We call on the CDC, as one of Liberia’s leading political institutions, to show statesmanship by respecting the authority of the courts. Compliance with the law is not weakness, but strength, a demonstration of leadership and commitment to our democracy.
We also urge all partisans and supporters to remain peaceful and law-abiding. Liberia has come too far to allow political disagreements to undermine the hard-won peace we all share.
The LNP reminds all citizens that peace is our collective responsibility. Upholding the rule of law honors the sacrifices of the past and secures the future for generations to come.
Signed:
The Liberia National Police
This is a developing story.
