The Ambassador of the Republic of Liberia to Ghana, Musu Jatu Ruhle, has called for justice following the killing of a 26-year-old Liberian national, Austin Tengbe, who was allegedly lynched by a mob in the Lashibi–Sakumono area of the Greater Accra Region.

In the wake of the disturbing incident, Liberia’s top diplomat is calling for calm — and accountability.

Ambassador Ruhle has extended her deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, describing the incident as a “tragic loss of life” and expressing profound sympathy to the bereaved family. She stated that the Government and people of Liberia stand in full solidarity with them during this painful time.

“The Embassy is treating this matter with the utmost seriousness,” the ambassador said, adding that the Liberian Government, through its mission in Accra, is actively engaging Ghanaian authorities to ensure justice is served.

Ghanaian law enforcement agencies have reportedly launched a formal investigation into the killing. The Embassy has assured both the Liberian community in Ghana and citizens back home that it is following the case closely and pressing for accountability through official legal channels.

“This is a time for justice, not retaliation,” Ambassador Ruhle emphasized, urging Liberians in Ghana to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding. “Let us allow due process to prevail, even as we mourn.”

The tragic death of Tengbe has sparked concern and anger within diaspora circles, especially among young Liberians in Ghana. The Ambassador’s strong statement appears aimed at both comforting the grieving and averting further unrest.

The Embassy reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding the rights and welfare of Liberians abroad and pledged to keep the public informed as investigations progress.
