The OPRM decries the attempted arrest of its leader Moncio Kpadeh by state security
The One People Revolutionary Movement [OPRM] says it has uncovered a diabolical plan by the George Weah administration to arrest its leader Comrade Moncio Kpadeh. The leaked according to the OPRM is political and subversive that has nothing to do with the breaking story The Parrot News website has published regarding circumstances surrounding the mysterious and tragic killing of Audit Chief Emmanuel Nyensua of the Internal Audit Agency or IAA which went viral recently. Rather than unleashing security agents to pursue Comrade Leader Moncio Kpadeh and Editor Julius Jaesen of the Parrot News website, a responsible and intelligent government would rather choose the path of litigation if it feels or believes the Parrot outlet has done anything transgressive to its image or those of its officials named in the story.
The release said, “Police Director, under pressure from Tweah, almost ordered the arrest of the Managing Editor of the Parrot, Moncio Kpadeh, over his news out let’s report, and this event was only prevented by the intervention of the head of National Security Agency, who advised against public backlash, if the arrest was effected. The authorities are said to be keeping surveillance on him”
Pursing the publisher and editors of the Parrot news agency is reminiscent of the dark and draconian past of Liberia where critical journalists were murdered in cold blood for reporting the truth and vociferous opposition politicians gunned down because they vehemently resisted misrule and called out notorious governors of the state. Such a move the OPRM says is downright repressive, reprehensible and runs counterproductive to the peace and the forward march of Liberia’s fledgling but fragile democracy. Such backward and reactionary tendencies must be condemned in the loudest tone by all, the release said!
The One People Revolutionary Movement or OPRM says it stand by its Leader Comrade Moncio Kpadeh and the erudite and revolutionary editors of the Parrot News Website.
Consequently, the OPRM says it is therefore increasing the security of the leader in every aspect of his daily movements including his residence. Hence, all militants of the OPRM are hereby ordered to be on full alert.
