“My Life is in Danger” — Rep. Foko Accuses Police Boss of Assassination Plot, Seeks U.S. Embassy Protection
Montserrado County District #9 Representative Frank Saah Foko has leveled grave allegations against Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman, publicly claiming that his life is under imminent threat and suggesting the existence of a plot against him and his family — claims that, at this stage, remain unverified and have not been addressed by the Liberia National Police or Inspector General Coleman as of press time. In a statement to reporters in Monrovia on Wednesday, Representative Foko issued a warning, declaring, “If I die, hold them responsible,” while further asserting, “The Inspector General knows exactly what is happening. This is not accidental. This is intentional,” though he did not provide evidence or independently verifiable details to substantiate the claim.

Monrovia, Liberia: Montserrado County District #9 Representative Frank Saah Foko has leveled grave allegations against Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman, publicly claiming that his life is under imminent threat and suggesting the existence of a plot against him and his family — claims that, at this stage, remain unverified and have not been addressed by the Liberia National Police or Inspector General Coleman as of press time.
In a statement to reporters in Monrovia on Wednesday, Representative Foko issued a warning, declaring, “If I die, hold them responsible,” while further asserting, “The Inspector General knows exactly what is happening. This is not accidental. This is intentional,” though he did not provide evidence or independently verifiable details to substantiate the claim.
The lawmaker linked his remarks to an incident in Wroto Town, Airfield Sinkor, where he alleged that police deployed tear gas to disperse a gathering during a land dispute, stating, “I was there to stand with my people. I had to run for my life,” yet the specific circumstances of the incident, including official police accounts or independent corroboration, remain unverified at this time.
The Montserrado County Lawmaker further alleged that the incident reflects a broader pattern of intimidation against opposition voices, although he did not provide additional documented examples to establish such a pattern.
He also disclosed plans to petition the United States Embassy in Monrovia, saying, “I will go to the U.S. Embassy. The world must hear this. Liberia cannot continue on this path,” signaling an intention to internationalize the matter.
As of press time, the Liberia National Police has not issued any official statement in response to the allegations, and no independent verification has been presented; the claims therefore remain unsubstantiated at this stage, with further clarification from the relevant authorities expected to provide a fuller and balanced account of the situation.
