MONROVIA – The Liberia National Police (LNP) has dismissed Corporal Sabastine G. Weedee (LNP-2753) of the Police Support Unit (PSU) with immediate effect for criminal misconduct. According to a police press release issued on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, the decision came after a complaint was filed by Estella Metzger, an employee of the United Bank of Africa (UBA).
Ms. Metzger alleged that Officer Weedee visited the UBA branch on 5th Street, Sinkor, under the pretense of conducting business. During a brief absence from her desk, Officer Weedee allegedly stole one hundred United States dollars from a customer’s deposit that had been left on the desk.
Following a preliminary investigation, Corporal Weedee admitted to the crime and was subsequently charged with theft of property. The LNP has categorized his actions as a gross violation of Section 8.1(a) of the Liberia National Police Disciplinary Regulations of 2016.
In response to his misconduct, the LNP has instructed Corporal Weedee to cease all affiliations with the Liberia National Police to avoid future embarrassment. Additionally, he has been ordered to return all government-issued property in his possession, including badges, uniforms, ID card, and boots/shoes, to the Human Resource Management Division.
This dismissal underscores the LNP’s commitment to maintaining discipline within its ranks and upholding the integrity of the police force.
