Monrovia – Former Commerce and Industry Minister Amin Modad has threatened legal action against activist Martin K. N. Kollie, accusing him of spreading false information after Kollie linked an SUV belonging to Modad’s wife to the country’s unfolding drug investigation.
The dispute erupted on social media after Kollie published photographs of an SUV parked outside Bella Casa and alleged that the vehicle was connected to Capone Stephanie Audrey, whom he claimed had parked the vehicle before attempting to leave Liberia.
Kollie said he would release video footage of what he described as the vehicle being “abandoned,” while also highlighting its license plate in the post.
But Modad rejected the allegation, saying the SUV belongs to his wife and was parked in the family’s designated parking space at their business establishment.
He accused Kollie of deliberately presenting an ordinary parking situation as part of the ongoing drug-related controversy and said the publication had placed his family at unnecessary risk.
Modad also alleged that this was not the first time Kollie had circulated what he considers false information concerning him and his family.
The former minister said the latest publication has already spread widely across social media, increasing what he described as unwarranted public scrutiny and potential security concerns for his family.
He has consequently demanded that Kollie issue a formal retraction and correction of the claim.
Modad warned that he would consider pursuing legal remedies if the demand is not met, specifically citing possible defamation and what he described as the endangerment caused by the publication.
The confrontation comes as Liberia remains focused on a series of major drug investigations following the seizure and destruction of large quantities of suspected cocaine by state security agencies.
The heightened attention surrounding those investigations has generated a wave of allegations and counterclaims on social media, with public figures and activists increasingly using online platforms to raise questions about individuals they believe may be connected to the cases.
In this latest dispute, however, Modad maintains that there is no connection between his wife’s vehicle and the drug investigation and is demanding that Kollie publicly correct the record.
Kollie’s allegation and Modad’s response represent competing accounts, and the material provided does not independently establish that the SUV was connected to any criminal activity.
The former minister’s warning of legal action now places additional pressure on Kollie to substantiate the claim or withdraw it.
