The Liberia National Police has clarified that it has no ties, no meetings, and no prior knowledge of the group seen in a viral video calling itself the “National Fula Security of Liberia,” urging the public to remain calm as the matter is reviewed.

Liberian Senate Security Committee Chair Momo Tarnuekollie Cyrus is calling for the immediate suspension of the outsourcing of vehicle registration and driver licensing, warning that the move poses serious national security, governance, and revenue risks.

The Office of the Fula Governor of Liberia has dismissed social media claims linking the National Fula Security of Liberia to militia or terrorist activity, describing them as false and misleading. The office says the group is a voluntary community service organization that works with the Liberia National Police to ensure safety around mosques, especially during Ramadan.

The Fula community has clarified that its private security training is a community watch initiative, not a militia. Leaders say the program is legally registered, coordinated with the Liberia National Police, and focused on protecting businesses and neighborhoods amid rising petty crime.
