Over 56 police officers of the Liberia National Police (LNP) have been suspended for periods ranging from one week to four months.

A LNP press release issued Thursday said, the administrative action was taken against the officers due to their failure to report to work, as well as assault against some peaceful citizens in Monrovia.

The press release indicated that two of the police officers were suspended for time indefinite for assaulting some peaceful citizens in Grand Bassa County, while four other officers were also suspended for one week each.

It also specified that 46 of the officers were suspended for two weeks each and three others for the period of four months. Accordingly, the LNP has warned all of its officers to desist from such practices of not reporting to work or would face similar administrative action.
