The House of Representatives has cited officials of the Ministry of Justice, Liberia National Police, Grand Gedeh County Attorney’s Office, and the County Police Commander to appear before plenary next Tuesday to provide updates on the reported disappearance of citizens in Grand Gedeh County.

The decision follows a communication submitted by River Gee County District #2 Representative Isaac B. Choloplay Wuo, who raised concerns about the security situation in neighboring Grand Gedeh County.

In his communication to Plenary on October 29, 2026, Representative Wuo requested legislative intervention into the reported disappearance of two Grebo citizens in May 2026.

He also highlighted the death of Grebo elder Sam Geekor, whose body was reportedly discovered on October 23, 2026, as well as subsequent demonstrations in Zwedru.

The lawmaker called on relevant authorities to provide updates on investigations into the reported disappearances and the death of Sam Geekor.

He further requested information on security measures being implemented to protect lives and property, address community grievances, and prevent further violence.

Representative Wuo warned that failure to address the situation could deepen public mistrust, increase tensions, and threaten peaceful coexistence among communities.

However, he clarified that his communication was not intended to prejudge ongoing investigations or assign blame without credible evidence.

The House’s decision is aimed at obtaining official explanations on the reported missing citizens, the status of investigations, and measures being taken by security authorities to restore and maintain peace and security in Grand Gedeh County.
