Police have declared Liberian economist Samuel Jackson a person of interest in the death of his South African wife after investigators reportedly discovered a deep head laceration and bruises on the body. The Liberia National Police says the case is now being treated as an alleged homicide, with officers deployed at Jackson’s residence as the investigation continues.

The Liberian government is calling for calm as diplomatic efforts intensify to address the growing tension along the Liberia–Guinea border. President Joseph Boakai has dispatched a high-level inter-ministerial delegation to engage Guinean authorities, while officials urge citizens, especially those in border communities, to remain peaceful and rely only on verified information as discussions continue.

The Liberia National Police has suspended Patrolman Alex T. Flampor for four months without pay over misconduct involving a 13-year-old girl in Grand Bassa County. The officer has also been ordered to pay LRD 12,000 for medical expenses and will be transferred after serving the suspension.

Tensions along the Liberia–Guinea border have escalated after Guinean soldiers reportedly fired gunshots into Liberian territory in Sorlumba Clan, Lofa County, injuring a local resident. The victim was rushed to Foya Hospital for treatment as reports indicate the soldiers later advanced into the disputed area and raised their national flag, further heightening fear among residents and prompting renewed calls for diplomatic intervention.
