CIC Blasts Chief Gregory Coleman, Says Police Should Focus on Crime, Not Music

Monrovia, Liberia: Popular Liberian musician CIC has strongly criticized the Inspector General of Police, Gregory Coleman, after the police chief made negative comments about the Liberian music industry.

In a video posted online, CIC said the police boss should focus on fighting crime and keeping people safe instead of talking about music.

“You’re supposed to be focused on law enforcement and national security,” CIC said. “Liberia is drowning in crime, drugs, and corruption. Are you blind or just distracted?”

CIC also accused the Liberia National Police of being used for harassment, corruption, and political games.

“Our communities are full of zogos. Armed robbers are everywhere. People are afraid to walk at night,” CIC said. “But you’re busy making TikTok videos instead of doing your job.”

He added that musicians are trying to promote Liberia in a positive way, while the police are losing public trust

“You’re not a celebrity. You’re the head of the police. We don’t need your opinions on music we need protection.

CIC also talked about bigger problems in the country, including:

Corruption in government

Drug problems destroying young lives

Police brutality and illegal arrests

Abuse of power by police officials

Using police to silence protestors and critics

“Liberians are waking up,” he said. “We see how the police are used against peaceful people, but can’t solve real problems.”

CIC’s comments have gone viral on social media.

Many people are supporting him and calling for serious changes in the police and government.

So far, the Inspector General has not responded.
