Former Monrovia mayor Jefferson T. Koijee handed over to Liberian Vice-President Jeremiah Kpan Koung a disputed property in the Sinkor neighbourhood. He says the gesture, motivated by his faith and pursuit of peace, is neither an admission nor a renunciation of his political fight, Front Page Africa reports.
Former Monrovia mayor Jefferson T. Koijee handed over to Liberian Vice-President Jeremiah Kpan Koung a disputed property located on 19th Street, at Coleman Avenue, in the Sinkor neighbourhood, according to a public statement by the former municipal official.
Koijee says the handover, decided after the intervention of his spiritual adviser Philemon A. Tarpeh, does not constitute either a surrender or an admission of guilt. He accuses President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and Vice-President Koung of political persecution and says he intends to remain active ahead of the 2029 presidential election, declaring: “I chose peace. My faith remains unshaken. 2029 is our destination.”
The former mayor, who served under President George Manneh Weah, disputes the competing claims to the property. He recalls that former Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation managing director Mo Ali accused him on 18 September 2018 of acquiring a house worth 250,000 dollars in less than nine months. Koijee nevertheless points out that a court filing issued on 13 October 2026 by the Monrovia Magisterial Court identifies Vice-President Koung as the plaintiff claiming the same property.
