Nagbe Seeks Police Investigation into Cletus Noah’s Suspicious Death
Lenn Eugene Nagbe has requested a police investigation into the death of Cletus Noah, amid allegations linking him to foul play. Noah, a former aide to Finance Minister Samuel Tweah, died unexpectedly on May 4, 2025, prompting Nagbe to address serious accusations from Noah’s brother. The situation is heightened by the ongoing corruption trial involving Tweah, with calls for transparency and answers amid personal threats to Nagbe.
In a troubling development, the death of Cletus Noah, who served as a special aide to former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah, has prompted calls for an investigation in Liberia. Lenn Eugene Nagbe, the Chief of Office Staff for former President George M. Weah, has reached out to the police to request a preliminary inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Noah’s unexpected demise.
In a formal letter addressed to Inspector General Col. Gregory Coleman, dated May 8, 2025, Nagbe expressed serious concerns over allegations that linked him to Noah’s passing. The inquiry is particularly timely, given that Tweah is currently on trial for alleged corruption—charges he has vehemently denied.
Nagbe’s letter highlights that Noah passed away on May 4, 2025, and raises critical questions about potential foul play. He noted that accusations against him, articulated by Noah’s brother, Tozo, led him to seek the police’s assistance to protect his reputation. “I write to formally request a preliminary investigation to establish the existence of foul play, if any, into the recent death of Mr. Cletus Noah, who reportedly passed away on 4 May 2025,” Nagbe stated in the letter.
In a concerning turn, Tozo allegedly accused Nagbe, alongside Tweah and unnamed associates, of involvement in Noah’s death. Tozo’s communication also contained a threat directed at Nagbe, instructing him to “wait for the burial” and warning that he would “come for him.” Nagbe attached both transcripts and screenshots of the messages as evidence of these explosive claims.
The urgency is palpable, with Nagbe highlighting the personal and reputational risks he faces due to these allegations. He underscored this by noting, “These allegations are both serious and damaging, not only to my reputation but also present a threat to my personal safety and security.” He urged the Liberia National Police to question Tozo amid their investigation to clarify and verify these claims.
Nagbe, who has previously served as the Commissioner General of the Liberia Maritime Authority, has assured the police of his full cooperation during this investigation. He expressed his commitment to resolving the matter, emphasizing the need for transparency. The death of Cletus Noah, someone who was closely associated with former Minister Tweah, has elicited widespread condolences and tributes from peers and political leaders across the country.
Noah’s demise has reverberated through Liberia’s political landscape, triggering a range of emotional responses from both political allies and adversaries. The shock of his passing was felt particularly keenly, given its unexpected nature, which has left many in the community seeking answers.
As of now, the investigation’s outcomes remain uncertain, but the call for transparency and accountability is pressing. The gravity of the allegations, along with the ongoing legal troubles faced by the former finance minister, makes the situation more complicated.
In summary, the sudden death of Cletus Noah has raised alarm bells among political figures in Liberia, with Lenn Eugene Nagbe formally requesting a police probe into the matter. Allegations against Nagbe from Noah’s brother create a troubling scenario that requires clarity and investigation. The emotional impact of Noah’s death continues to resonate, prompting a wave of tributes and underscoring the need for transparency in the investigation that follows. As this story develops, many await resolution and accountability.
