Monrovia — The Armed Forces of Liberia is grappling with the tragic death of Sergeant Bobby Manndeh, who allegedly committed suicide last week while on guard duty at the Binyah Kesselly Barracks in Schiefflin.
"Sergeant Manndeh was a disciplined, professional, loyal, and dedicated soldier who served with diligence since his enlistment into the AFL," the statement read. FrontPageAfrica gathered that morale had been low among the soldiers at the barracks following an announcement from the high command that there would be no salary increments, even for soldiers with college degrees, in the current fiscal year due to budget constraints. The soldiers were informed that funds allocated for the army in the 2024 national budget would be used for the renovation of three military barracks: EBK in Margibi, Gbarnga in Bong County, and Ganta in Nimba County.
FrontPage Africa online reader James Davis commented on the story, questioning why a sergeant would be placed on guard duty."This is a very serious situation that needs the attention of members of the House of Representatives. Is the AFL command having issues with its returnees from Mali, and is this one way of handling the situation in the military? The military has to come clean on this issue," Davis added.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
