MONROVIA -The National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia has officially informed the Liberia National Police (LNP) about the reported disappearance of Mr. Solomon Jaryenneh, a Senior Elections Magistrate assigned to Sinoe County, as concerns continue to grow over his unexplained absence.
In a press release issued on Monday, May 11, 2026, NEC said it had formally contacted the Inspector General of Police, Hon. Gregory O. W. Coleman, requesting an investigation and support in locating the missing elections official.
According to the Commission, the matter came to its attention through a written communication dated April 23, 2026, from Mrs. Hawa Jaryenneh, the wife of the missing magistrate. In her letter, she expressed serious concern about her husband’s whereabouts after repeated attempts to contact him failed.
The NEC disclosed that Mr. Jaryenneh had attended two NEC-organized workshops in Harper, Maryland County, and Ganta, Nimba County, before informing his family of plans to travel within the Maryland County corridor near the Liberia–Côte d’Ivoire border.
The Commission said Mr. Jaryenneh reportedly intended to seek traditional medical treatment due to health-related concerns. However, according to family members, all communication with him ceased on April 2, 2026, and his location remains unknown.
In response, NEC said it has documented the matter officially and forwarded the family’s concerns to the Liberia National Police for appropriate action.
The Commission also stated that it remains in active communication with Mr. Jaryenneh’s family and stands ready to provide additional institutional support where necessary.
“The NEC emphasizes that this matter is being treated with utmost seriousness and sensitivity,” the release noted, adding that the Commission is fully cooperating with national security authorities as investigations continue.
The NEC further appealed to members of the public to provide any credible information that could assist authorities in locating Mr. Jaryenneh. Such information can be shared directly with the Liberia National Police or through official NEC communication channels.
The statement was signed by NEC Communications Director Titus W. Tokpah, Sr., who reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to staff welfare, transparency, and collaboration with national institutions in addressing matters of public concern.
