Ecowas diplomat gets death threats on Facebook

Josephine Nkrumah, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) ambassador to Liberia, has alerted authorities about a Facebook user who has threatened her life. The individual, known as Carson, posted on Facebook urging the Monrovia mayor to send Nkrumah “down six feet”, claiming that it would draw international attention to the insecurity in Liberia.

In a letter to the Liberian justice ministry, Nkrumah declared that the comment was considered a “grave threat” to her life and the staff of the ECOWAS mission in the country.

Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson Koijee has accused his political opponents of spreading misinformation before the October elections.
