LIBERIA – The Liberia National Police has arrested, investigated, and sent to court Boimah Joe, an adult resident of the Jallah Town Community, for impersonating a police officer.

According to a press release issued today and signed by police spokesperson Cecelia Clark, Joe was arrested on Saturday, June 1, 2024, during the evening hours after he was seen extorting money from drivers along the Capitol By-pass in Monrovia.
