Speaking during the Ministry of Information’s regular press briefing on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, Deputy Minister Sando issued a stern warning against what he characterized as the selective adherence to the law. While the Deputy Minister acknowledged the significant hardship and emotional toll faced by these families, he maintained a firm distinction between executive policy and judicial enforcement. In an effort to prevent future disputes, Deputy Minister Sando concluded his address by urging Liberians to exercise extreme caution during land transactions. He advised citizens to seek rigorous legal guidance to navigate the complexities of property ownership and to avoid falling victim to fraudulent sales. As public discontent persists, the handling of these evictions remains a critical test of the state’s ability to balance legal integrity with its duty to safeguard its people.
