The elite presidential protection unit, the Executive Protection Service , has told former President George Weah to hire private service if he feels insecure and wants additional security bodyguards.
Former President Weah, through the Secretary General of the Coalition for Democratic Change , Jefferson Koijee, recently requested additional EPS officers to beef up his personal security -- a request that has been greeted with a barrage of criticisms from the general public. And then, directly addressing President Boakai, Koijee added:"Remember also now, the day we come to the conclusion of protecting President Weah, you can rest assured you won't go to work."
Koijee has been accused of instigating violence and controlling paramilitary-style organizations associated with the CDC. According to OFAC, these groups, which allegedly include former combatants and recently released prisoners, have been involved in violently disrupting demonstrations and opposition activities by government critics.
"And the day we come to protect President WEAH, we won't leave again, we will protect him till the day we feel comfortable that he's well protected," he noted.
