The Liberia Council of Churches (LCC) has emphatically denied the circulating rumors on social media regarding the suspension of Rev.

Rev. Toe clarified that the LCC has neither condemned President Boakai’s luxury purchases nor had any meetings related to the alleged suspension of members. He emphasized that the accounts are false and called for the public to disregard such misinformation, urging those responsible for spreading it to acknowledge their actions.
Additionally, Rev. Toe advised media outlets to refrain from reporting inaccurate information that misrepresents the LCC’s position on important national matters, highlighting the damaging impact on the Council’s credibility.
In conclusion, the Liberia Council of Churches has firmly rejected allegations regarding the suspension of its President, Rev. Dr. Samuel Reeves. The Council asserts that these rumors are unfounded, originating from detractors following his criticism of a government official. Rev. Toe’s statements call for accountability among those spreading such misinformation and stress the importance of media integrity in representing the LCC’s perspectives on national issues.
