MONROVIA–Nearing release from prison where he has been for nearly six months, Justin Oldpa Yeazehn, popularly known as “Prophet Key,” has vowed never to engage in abusive or disrespectful conduct again, including cussing any woman.
‘The Prophet’ as others refer to him is expected to be released from prison later this month, following a six-month sentence for criminal contempt imposed by the Supreme Court of Liberia.
In a handwritten letter dated July 28, 2026, which has recently surfaced on social media, Prophet Key expressed deep remorse for the statements that led to his imprisonment and offered an apology to the Supreme Court, the Liberian people, and women across the country.
The apology comes just weeks before he is expected to complete the six-month sentence handed down by the nation’s highest court after it found him guilty of repeatedly making insulting and vulgar remarks against members of the judiciary.
In the letter, Prophet Key specifically apologized to Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay, Associate Justices Yussif D. Kaba, Boakai N. Kanneh, Jamesetta H. Wolokolie, and Cecelia D. Clinton Johnson, as well as judges, magistrates, and other officers of the Judicial Branch.
He admitted that his comments were inappropriate and disrespectful, acknowledging that his actions undermined the dignity of the judiciary. He pleaded for forgiveness and assured the justices that he had learned from the experience.
Prophet Key also extended his apology to Liberian women, admitting that his public remarks had offended and disrespected them. He appealed for a second chance and pledged never again to use abusive or offensive language toward any woman.
“I promise that I will never cuss any woman again,” he wrote in the letter.
He added that being a husband and the father of two daughters has given him a renewed appreciation for the importance of treating women with dignity, respect, and honor. According to him, his time in prison has provided an opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.
The self-proclaimed prophet expressed sincere regret and asking the Liberian public to forgive him for his past behavior, while promising to become a better citizen.
Prophet Key was sentenced to six months at the Monrovia Central Prison after the Court ruled that his repeated abusive and vulgar attacks against Chief Justice Gbeisay, members of the Supreme Court, and other individuals amounted to conduct that undermined the authority and integrity of the Judicial Branch.
During the contempt proceedings, Prophet Key, through his legal counsel, admitted wrongdoing and appealed to the Court for mercy. His lawyers informed the justices that he regretted his actions and assured the Court that he would refrain from making similar statements in the future.
With his sentence nearing completion, Prophet Key is expected to regain his freedom during the month of August, provided there are no further legal developments affecting the execution of the Supreme Court’s judgment.
His anticipated release has attracted public attention, many of whom are his followers.
