In a surprising development, Journalist Sekou Sheriff, CEO of The Voice of Liberia (VOL), a radio station in Monrovia, was arrested on Thursday, January 4, by a sheriff of the court after the Monrovia City Magisterial Court issued a warrant for him. The charges brought against Sheriff include Criminal Coercion, Harassment, Blackmailing, and Disorderly Conduct. The complaint, filed by the Republic of Liberia through Diggs, accuses Sheriff of intentionally tarnishing Diggs' character through social media and a talk show. It also highlights the broader issue of cyberbullying and the potential legal consequences for those who engage in online harassment. Sheriff and his VOL bragged that they had every piece of evidence to substantiate his allegations against the Minister.
