Jackson K. Kolako Deputy Superintendent for Operations at the Monrovia Central Prison who was alleged of being involved into the drugs saga Writes:
"WHERE IS THE SMALLEST PIECE OF EVIDENCE!
I SPENT SIX YEARS AS INTELLIGENCE AND INVESTIGATOR WITHIN THIS SAME MOJ.
Good morning to you all:

My name is Jackson K. Kolako from Lawalazu, Deputy Superintendent for Operations at the Monrovia Central Prison.
Many of you followed the negative narrative that was spread about my personality
I was arrested by three Liberia National Police (LNP) officers at around 2:00 p.m. on August 1, 2026, while on active duty at the Monrovia Central Prison, on the order of Mr. Siafa Bahn Kemokai, who was personally present. In his arrest order, he claimed that I had obstructed lawful security operations at the MCP.
Approximately thirty minutes prior to Mr. Kemokai’s arrival at the MCP, two individuals who claimed to be agents of the National Security Agency (NSA) arrived at the prison wearing shorts, which are prohibited within the MCP. They failed to properly identify themselves and refused to record their names and purpose of visit in the visitor logbook, arguing that their mission was covert and that they needed to speak with an inmate connected to the multi-million-dollar drug case.
While we were still attempting to establish the legitimacy of their identities and visitation, two senior prison staff members who were not assigned to the MCP arrived and authoritatively overrode, compromised, and breached the established prison security procedures governing entry into the facility. One of the two prison officials repeatedly and boastfully stated, “We make the law, and we can break the law.”
As the ground commander—where assignment is greater than rank—I asked whether the Chief Superintendent of the MCP and the Assistant Minister for Corrections had been informed of the visitation. One of the senior prison officers replied that they had not and further stated that the visitation order was above the authority of the Department of Corrections within the Ministry of Justice.
I asked again, “Would you mind if I reached out to them?” The same individual replied, “Go ahead.”
I paused briefly, located the Deputy Superintendent for Administration, Superintendent Janet K. Siryee, and informed her of the situation. Together, using my mobile phone, we contacted both the Chief Superintendent of the MCP, Colonel Roosevelt Varney, and Honorable Gabriel Fayiah Ndupellar, Assistant Minister for Corrections. Both men expressed surprise and stated that they had no prior knowledge of the visitation.
After noticing that the inmate being sought was outside his housing unit for fresh air and exercise, I ordered him to return to his housing unit, and he complied as expected. I then resumed my normal supervisory responsibilities over approximately 1,800 inmates and nearly 100 officers on duty.
A few minutes later, I noticed from a distance the presence of Mr. Siafa Bahn Kemokai and several LNP officers within the MCP. I approached him and rendered the customary paramilitary courtesy, which he did not return. Instead, he ordered my arrest in the presence of a handful of police officers in a manner that appeared calculated to provoke my officers into resisting my arrest, potentially triggering a riot that inmates could have exploited to execute a mass prison break.
With twelve years of experience at this prison, I recognized the provocation and the potential national consequences that accepting such provocation could have caused. Without saying a word, I hurriedly left the area out of concern that my officers might witness my arrest, as not all of them would have immediately recognized the possible consequences.
I was taken to the LNP headquarters, where conflicting information was provided regarding my whereabouts. Nevertheless, my officers quickly traced my location, but all were denied access to me, except for senior officials of the Ministry of Justice.
While in custody from August 1 to August 7, 2026, the LNP refused to take any statement from me. On August 3, 2026, at approximately 9:00 p.m., senior prison officers from the Ministry of Justice, two NSA agents, and Unit 105 of the LNP compelled me to call for my mobile phones to be brought to the LNP headquarters and to provide all the passwords associated with them, which I did that same night.
That evening, they accused me of being a cartel member and alleged that I had received substantial deposits from drug cartels. Surprisingly, I was instructed to go home and return the following day. I refused and decided that I would not leave LNP custody until there was certainty regarding my safety. I found a way to inform several coworkers and family members of my situation.
On Friday, August 7, 2026, at approximately 2:00 p.m., I was literally forced out of the LNP headquarters with my two mobile phones, which had remained in the possession of the NSA since August 3, 2026.
At approximately the same time on that same date, a senior prison officer presented me with a letter of suspension. I accepted the letter, read it, and informed the officer that I would acknowledge receipt on Monday after consultation and rest.
The letter alleged that I had disrupted an ongoing inmate interview involving an external security agency. I have never consumed alcohol or smoked, so when did I become impaired enough to engage in such conduct? Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that I had committed such an offense, the Ministry of Justice has an established disciplinary board. Why, then, was I turned over to the Liberia National Police?
I worked for nine years as a classroom teacher, three years as a conductor at the National Transit Authority, and have now served for twelve years in law enforcement with an unblemished record. Throughout these years of sacrifice, I have never taken home a net monthly salary exceeding US$224. Out of self-discipline, I chose never to trade my integrity and loyalty to my country for financial gain or personal advancement.
As we proceed with this investigation, please keep the following names in mind:
1. Mr. Siafa Bahn Kemokai
2. Mr. Lawrence G. Bohlen
3. Mr. Samuel Lance Jasper
4. Mr. Raymond A. Messan
Finally, while I continue to withhold certain sensitive details of this incident because of the ongoing investigation, I respectfully call upon Cllr. Oswald N. Tweh, Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Liberia; Rt. Gen. Prince C. Johnson of the NSA; Rt. Gen. Geraldine Janet George Johnson, Minister of National Defense; Col. Gregory O. Coleman of the Liberia National Police; Madam Sarah Beslow Nyanti; the United States Embassy near Monrovia; and all others who may have the opportunity to communicate with His Excellency President Joseph N. Boakai, Sr., to convey my appeal that all individuals detained at the MCP in connection with the multi-million-dollar drug case be transferred to a secure holding facility, preferably in the Kingdom of Morocco, while awaiting trial, so as not to undermine his administration’s fight against drugs.
Attempting to aide and abet prison break is a serious crime.
No one will set us up for failure at the Monrovia Central Prison.
We are far too experienced!"
