Former Speaker of the 55th House of Representatives, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, is reportedly facing imminent indictment, according to credible information reaching Geez Liberia.
Multiple sources close to the ongoing investigation indicate that legal documents have either been finalized or are in the final stages of preparation. Koffa, who represented Grand Kru County and once served as Deputy Speaker before rising to the gavel, could appear in court as early as this evening, sources say.
At the Monrovia Central Prison, where heightened activity has been reported, Geez Liberia’s correspondent observed a growing presence of Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) supporters who have gathered in anticipation of a possible arrest or court appearance.
Though official confirmation from the Ministry of Justice or the Judiciary is yet to be released, the scene around the prison suggests that something significant may be underway. Security personnel have reportedly tightened access to the facility, with riot police seen patrolling the perimeter.
A source familiar with the situation hinted that Koffa is not the only high-profile individual under scrutiny. “Several others could also be facing charges,” the source, who requested anonymity, told Geez Liberia.
This comes amid an increasingly tense political atmosphere, as President Joseph Boakai’s government faces mounting pressure to deliver on promises of accountability and anti-corruption.
The potential indictment of a sitting or former lawmaker, especially one with as much political influence as Koffa, could have far-reaching implications for Liberia’s fragile political stability.
Geez Liberia will continue to monitor this developing story and provide timely updates as more information becomes available.
