MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has secured a court order for the arrest of two former officials of the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) over alleged economic and financial crimes.

According to an LACC release, Criminal Court “C” issued a Writ of Ne Exeat Republica on Wednesday, September 10, 2026, directing that the two officials, Rustolyn Suacoco Dennis and Richmond Jallah, be arrested if they attempt to leave Liberia and detained until bail is provided.

The release states that the defendants face charges, including economic sabotage, tampering with public records, criminal conspiracy, and violations of the Public Procurement and Concession Commission (PPCC) and Financial Management Laws.
