MONROVIA – The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, announced that the First Judicial Circuit, Criminal Court “C” for Montserrado County has formally declared two former senior officials of the National Center for the Coordination of Response Mechanism (NCCRM) wanted in connection with serious corruption-related offenses.
In a Media and Citizen Alert issued for immediate public notice, the LACC disclosed that the court has issued an Indictment Writ of Arrest based on an indictment prepared by a duly selected, empanelled, and sworn Grand Jury. The writ, according to the Commission, was issued on December 30, 2025, under the hand and seal of the Honorable Court.
The individuals named in the alert are Dr. Roland Clark, former Executive Director of the NCCRM, and Mr. Peter W. Nyenabo, former Coordinator of Response Mechanism at the institution. The NCCRM operates as a national body responsible for coordinating emergency and response mechanisms in Liberia.
According to the LACC, the charges against the former officials are grave and wide-ranging. The Commission stated that the indictment includes Economic Sabotage, specifically citing “fraud on the internal revenue of Liberia, theft and/or illegal disbursement and expenditure of public money, and misuse of public money, property, or records.”
In addition to economic sabotage, the accused are also charged with theft of property, criminal conspiracy, and criminal facilitation, offenses that carry serious legal consequences under Liberian law. The LACC alert underscores that these charges stem from alleged actions taken while the accused held public positions of trust.
The Commission emphasized that both men are now “WANTED BY THE COURT,” noting that the Criminal Court “C” has commanded the Sheriff of Montserrado County, or his lawful deputy, to arrest the accused and produce them before the court to answer to the charges contained in the indictment.
The alert further states that the accused are to be brought before Criminal Court “C” during its November Term, A.D. 2025, marking a significant step in the judicial process following the Grand Jury’s findings and the court’s issuance of the arrest writ.
By making the alert public, the LACC said it is informing not only law enforcement agencies but also media institutions and citizens, signaling the seriousness of the court’s action and the need for public cooperation within the bounds of the law.
At the same time, the Commission urged restraint and respect for legal procedures. The LACC called on the public to “respect due process and allow the judicial process to proceed accordingly,” emphasizing that the matter is now squarely before the court.
The Commission also encouraged anyone with relevant information that could assist lawful authorities to cooperate with the appropriate institutions, reinforcing its role in supporting the enforcement of accountability measures.
