Monrovia, Liberia: The Women NGOs Secretariat of Liberia (WONGOSOL) is calling for a prompt investigation and disciplinary actions against individuals believed to be members of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) who were involved with the filming of a completely naked woman during a recent operation.
A viral footage circulating on social media shows some individuals performing a drug enforcement task, insisting video evidence at the home of a woman suspected of possessing illicit drugs.
Reports say the lady had hurriedly left her bathroom out of curiosity over alleged drug discovery at her residence (Monrovia) before bombing into officers video-taping the scene who reportedly refused to switch their cameras off her.
WONGOSOL condemned the July 29, 2026 incident as troubling, and said it amounts to a human rights violation. The advocacy group calls on legal authorities to swiftly investigate the matter and ensure that justice is served.
The group referenced Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 5 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Right which prohibit cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment of individuals.
"WONGOSOL unequivocally condemns any action by officers that strips women and girls of their dignity under the guise of enforcing the law".
"We call on the LDEA Director General and the Ministry of Justice to immediately institute a prompt, independent, and transparent investigation. If confirmed, every officer responsible must be held fully accountable under the law", the group said in a statement.
According to WONGOSOL, while it recognizes and supports the government of Liberia's efforts to combat illicit drugs, the fight must be conducted within the law and with full respect for human rights.
The Women's Secretariat at the same time urged law enforcement institutions to enhance capacity-building training for staffers to sharpen their understanding of constitutional rights, gender-responsive policing, child protection, and the lawful use of force.
Meanwhile, the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency says it is investigating the incident, and vows to ensure justice once the pieces of evidence are established.
