The expulsion of former Representative Yekeh Kolubah raises some serious questions. If due process was followed in expelling Yekeh Kolubah, it should be clear and fair. Ignoring a stay order raises concerns about respect for the rule of law and institutional accountability.
But if a stay order was in place, why was it ignored?

Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has consistently argued that the real struggle in South Africa is not fear of prison or death, but fear of poverty, unemployment, landlessness, and loss of dignity.

His message reflects a broader political stance: that economic freedom and social justice remain unfinished business decades after apartheid.

⚖️ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: Bail in Liberia 🇱🇷

Ever wondered why some people are released after an arrest while others stay in custody? It all comes down to whether the offense is Bailable or Non-Bailable under Liberian Law.

1. Bailable Offenses: The General Rule

Under Article 21(d)(i) of the 1986 Constitution, every person has a fundamental right to bail. This protects the principle that you are "innocent until proven guilty."

What it means: For most crimes (theft, simple assault, etc.), you can be released by providing a "bond" (money, property, or insurance) to ensure you show up for your court dates.

The Law: Constitution Article 21(d) & Criminal Procedure Law, Chapter 13.

2. Non-Bailable Offenses: The Serious Exceptions

There are specific "Capital Offenses" where the court can deny bail to protect the public or prevent the accused from fleeing.

The Rule: Bail is usually denied when the "proof is evident or the presumption great" that the person committed the crime.

Key Examples:

Murder & Treason: (Constitution Article 21)

Armed Robbery: Made a non-bailable capital offense by the Armed Robbery Act of 2008.

R**e: Under the New R**e Law (2006), r**e is a non-bailable offense to protect survivors and prevent witness intimidation.

The Bottom Line 🛑

Bail is not "getting off free"—it’s a legal guarantee of your appearance in court. While the Constitution favors liberty, the law draws a hard line at violent and capital crimes to keep our communities safe.

The United Nations took a significant step.

A total of 123 countries voted to label the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.

Three countries voted against it: United States, Israel, and Argentina.
The United Kingdom and the European Union chose to abstain.

The resolution was introduced by John Mahama on March 25, the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery. It received support from the African Union and CARICOM.

The historical data remains stark:

12.5 million Africans were taken over four centuries

More than 2 million died during transit

Jamaica received about 1.5 million enslaved Africans

Only 300,000 survived until emancipation

The resolution pushes for:

Formal apologies

Financial reparations

Return of stolen cultural artefacts

Investment in education

It is not legally binding, but it signals strong global political alignment.

The African Union has designated 2026 to 2035 as the Decade for Reparations. CARICOM’s 10 point reparatory justice plan now aligns with Africa in a unified push.

The United States maintains that there is no legal basis for reparations tied to historical injustices. African and Caribbean nations reject that stance.

This marks a shift. The issue has moved to the center of global debate.

Braking News!!!?

Criminal Court “A” in Monrovia convicted five women for trafficking fourteen children and sentenced each to 20 years in prison. The court found that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, showing the women worked together in an organized scheme.

Evidence showed the defendants recruited and moved children within Liberia, including Paynesville, and later transported them to countries like Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. The court ruled that the acts involved deception, abuse of trust, and intent to exploit vulnerable minors who could not give valid consent.

The defense claimed the activity was humanitarian. The court rejected this argument due to contradictions and strong supporting evidence from the prosecution. It confirmed the existence of a coordinated conspiracy.

The court stressed the seriousness of child trafficking and imposed strict penalties. It also prioritized victim protection. The fourteen children were placed under the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection for care, rehabilitation, and reintegration.

Authorities must verify any custody claims using legal documents and DNA testing where needed. Ongoing monitoring of the children’s welfare was also ordered.

The ruling is seen as a major step in enforcing anti-trafficking laws in Liberia and signals strong judicial action against such crimes.

In Monrovia, the Liberia National Police has officially named Samuel Jackson as a suspect in the death of his wife, Toni Jackson.

Police Inspector General Gregory O. W. Coleman confirmed on March 14, 2026 that Jackson is currently being held at the police headquarters along with several relatives and household staff while investigators continue to examine the case.

Under Liberian law, the police have 48 hours to decide whether to formally charge him and send the case to court or release him if there is not enough evidence at this stage.

Investigators have already searched Jackson’s home in Sinkor, where they collected samples and other items that will undergo further forensic testing.

Jackson, who had earlier been identified as a person of interest, reportedly turned himself in voluntarily and is cooperating with investigators. Police have also questioned family members, staff, and neighbors in an effort to understand what happened before Toni Jackson’s death.

If prosecutors decide to file charges within the 48-hour period, Jackson will be taken to Monrovia Criminal Court to face arraignment. If not, he will be released while the investigation continues.

In Monrovia, authorities are investigating the death of Tonia Jackson, after reports surfaced that she had previously accused her husband of abusing her.

According to the report, Tonia had shared photos with a friend that appeared to show bruises on her body. These images have raised concerns among the public and led to questions about whether the abuse allegations could be connected to her death.

The Liberia National Police has begun an official investigation. Forensic experts are expected to examine the evidence to determine the exact cause of her death and whether any foul play was involved.

At the moment, it is still unclear how the police first learned about the case. It may have been reported by the hospital after her death, or by someone who became concerned and alerted the authorities. Investigators say this detail could become important as they try to piece together what happened.

For now, police are asking the public to remain calm and allow the investigation to run its course. While the family mourns and receives condolences, authorities say they are focused on uncovering the truth behind the circumstances of Tonia Jackson’s death.

💔✊🏿 March for Justice – In Memory of Austin Tengbeh ( Big Boy)

On Friday, March 6th at 9:00 AM, concerned citizens will gather peacefully in front of the Ghanaian Embassy in Monrovia to demand justice for 26-year-old Liberian, Austin Tengbeh, whose life was tragically lost in Ghana.

According to preliminary reports from the Ghana Police Service, Austin had traveled to visit his brother in Lashibi. During his visit, an apartment caretaker allegedly raised a false alarm accusing him of theft. Witnesses say a crowd quickly gathered, and the situation escalated into what has been described as mob justice, ultimately costing Austin his life.

This peaceful march is being organized by the Citizens Action Committee to raise awareness and call on Ghanaian authorities to thoroughly investigate the incident and ensure accountability. The goal is not only justice for Austin, but also greater protection for Liberians living and traveling abroad.

📍 Location:
Embassy of Ghana in Monrovia
Off Tubman Boulevard, opposite Conex Gas Station, Old Congo Town.

Let us stand together peacefully and demand justice. No family should have to endure such a loss.

🗣 We want justice for our brother.

A High Court in Juba has delivered its judgement in the Sherikat gang r**e case, sentencing four suspects to 14 years in prison each. The court also noted that two of the accused were minors at the time of the crime and ruled they should serve five years in a reformatory centre instead. One suspect was acquitted due to lack of sufficient evidence.

This ruling reflects a difficult balance between justice, accountability, and the protection of minors, while also reminding the public of the serious impact of such crimes on victims and communities.
