Monrovia-The Liberia National Police (LNP) has categorically denounced what they called fraudulent and deceptive statements circulating on social media, falsely attributed to the LNP and its spokesperson, DCP Cecelia G. Clarke.
According to a release from the LNP, it says that the statement is entirely false and does not represent the official stance or operations of the Liberia National Police.
