The Office of the Fula Governor of Liberia has strongly condemned circulating social media claims alleging that a group known as the National Fula Security of Liberia is a tribal militia or terrorist organization, describing the assertions as baseless, misleading, and harmful to the reputation of the Fula community.
In a press release, the office said the allegations are driven by bias and misinformation, warning that such narratives risk unfairly portraying a law-abiding community as a security threat. The statement emphasized that the claims have no factual foundation and should be treated with the seriousness they warrant.
According to the release, the National Fula Security of Liberia is a voluntary community service group established in 2011. Its primary role, the office explained, has been to support Muslim communities, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan, by helping maintain order during night prayers and ensuring the safety of worshippers.
The group is said to work in close collaboration with the Liberia National Police, assisting with crowd control and security around mosques. Members have also been known to voluntarily escort worshippers after prayers to public transportation, including taxis and kehkehs, to ensure they return home safely.
Describing the Fula community as peaceful and respectful of state authority, the office expressed confidence in the Government of Liberia’s capacity to safeguard national security. It urged individuals and platforms spreading what it called “outrageous claims” to desist immediately, cautioning against content that could inflame fear or deepen social divisions.
Reaffirming its commitment to the rule of law, the Office of the Fula Governor assured the public that the Fula community remains firmly opposed to any form of militia activity or terrorism. It stressed that such groupings have never been part of the Fula community in Liberia and will never be tolerated.
