The Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) High Command has relieved Lieutenant Colonel Nyankun E. Williams of his post as Commandant of the Armed Forces Training Command (AFTC) on allegation of rape.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of National Defense in Monrovia on Thursday April 29, 2021, the AFL High Command said it has forwarded Lieutenant Colonel Williams to the Military Police to face investigation.
“The Military Police will conclude said investigation on 10 May 2021, and submit its findings to the AFL High Command for further actions,” the statement read.

The soldier has been recalled from the peacekeeping mission to aid the Military Police in the investigation.
