The Government of Liberia has reportedly repatriated a Sierra Leonean national to face prosecution back home, for killing a Police officer in Sierra Leone.

The Commissioner-General of the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS) Col. Robert W. Buddy, who made the disclosure on Thursday, May 19, 2022, at the Ministry of Information in Monrovia, identified the Sierra Leonean murder suspect as Gabriel Dikah, who allegedly killed a Sierra Leonean police officer.

The New Dawn in Liberia reports that after the incident happened on January 14, 2022, in Sierra Leone, the accused fled to Liberia to escape investigation, but through Interpol network in the region, Liberia was able to identify Gabriel Dikah and he’s now in Sierra Leone, facing prosecution.

He was arrested after the LNP was alerted by the Sierra Leonean Inspector General of Police, Dr. Ambrose Michael Sovula.

“Inspector General of Police in Sierra Leone hinted the Liberia National Police through Interpol about a Sierra Leonean National who has murdered a police officer and fled the country, and the Liberia National Police has been on the alert since we got the information from our Sierra Leonean police counterpart,” Liberia’s Police Spokesman, Moses Carter disclosed.

The alleged criminal after fleeing his homeland decided to seek refuge in Liberia and he is believed to have been involved with several criminal activities here.

“This guy has also been on the run in Liberia as well before getting the information that he murdered a police officer in Sierra Leone and ran awayy. The Liberia National Police has been in search of them, but we got a tipoff that he was seeing around that’s how we arrested him,” Carter noted.
