“Public Warning Against Fraudulent Use of the Vice President’s Name for Fake Scholarship Schemes”
Monrovia, Liberia – The Office of the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia has received information of alleged fraudulent activities involving individuals falsely claiming affiliation with Honorable Jeremiah Kpan Koung, Sr, Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, in an attempt to extort money from innocent citizens under the pretense of providing scholarships abroad.
The public is hereby strongly cautioned that the Honorable Vice President has not authorized, endorsed, or is in any way involved with any individual or organization soliciting funds for foreign scholarships. These schemes are criminal in nature and designed to deceive and exploit members of the public.
The Vice President remains committed to promoting genuine opportunities for youth empowerment and educational advancement through lawful, transparent, and government-sanctioned programs.
We urge all Liberians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or individuals making such claims to the nearest police station or the relevant law enforcement authority.
The Office of the Vice President condemns these acts of fraud in the strongest terms and warns perpetrators that they will face the full weight of the law.
We commend the Liberia National Police for swiftly responding to the allegations and conducting an ongoing investigation.
