The Unity Party has commended the Liberia National Police for their professional and unbiased investigation into the December 18, 2024, Capitol Building arson attack. The party has called on all individuals implicated in the attack to submit themselves to the judicial process.
According to the Unity Party, the LNP's investigation and subsequent indictment of suspects demonstrate the growing credibility and professionalism of Liberia's criminal justice system. The party particularly urged Hon. Pricilia A. Cooper, a Unity Party Representative of District 5, Montserrado County, who has been indicted, to cooperate fully with the authorities as the matter proceeds through the judicial system.
The Unity Party believes in Hon. Cooper's innocence and has pledged to support her throughout the legal process. The party's statement comes after the LNP's thorough investigation, which identified several individuals of interest linked to the fire, including Eric Susay and Thomas Isaac Etheridge, who face charges ranging from arson to criminal conspiracy.
The Capitol Building arson attack resulted in significant damage, estimated at over $8.6 million, and has been classified as a deliberate act of sabotage. The Unity Party's call for suspects to surrender underscores the party's commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability for those responsible.
The LNP's investigation has uncovered evidence suggesting that the fire was intentionally set using flammable substances. Surveillance footage and witness testimony have also linked suspects to the crime scene.
By urging suspects to submit to the judicial process, the Unity Party aims to promote a sense of justice and accountability in Liberia. The party reassures Liberians of its commitment to building a strong and prosperous nation where every individual is treated fairly under the law.
The Unity Party's statement reflects the party's confidence in Liberia's justice system and its determination to support the rule of law in the country.
