–Following Capitol Hill Fire Incident
Monrovia, Liberia – Montserrado County District #9 Representative Frank Saah Foko has turned himself over to police for questioning in connection with a fire that broke out earlier today at the roundtender of the national legislature on Capitol Hill. The incident occurred in the early hours of this morning
Authorities surrounded Foko’s residence as they sought to locate him for questioning. The fire at the Capitol building raised substantial concerns about security and safety in the legislative environment, prompting Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman to publicly urge Foko to cooperate with the investigation.
Foko, a member of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) party, is known for his outspoken and often controversial remarks. He had previously warned that he would take “drastic measures” if he felt that his colleagues continued to engage in what he described as lawlessness within the legislative process. His statements, made six months prior to the fire, have drawn scrutiny in light of today’s events.
As of the latest reports, Foko has surrendered to law enforcement, and authorities are conducting a investigation into the cause of the fire and any potential links to the Representative’s earlier comments. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as the investigation unfolds.
