IPNEWS: It’s been 72hrs now since former Truth and Reconciliation Commission Chairman, Cllr. Jerome Verdier revealed that Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson Koijee, is the mastermind of last Thursday, attack on the home of former Chief Justice, Gloria Musu Scott, leaving one of her granddaughters dead and another seriously wounded.
Now, Mayor Jefferson Koijee seems not to be taking the accusation of Cllr. Verdier, lightly.
In a communication to Justice Minister, Frank Musah Dean, Jr., dated February 27, 2023, Mayor Koijee called on the Justice Minister to institute an investigation as repeated accusations by Cllr. Verdier on his person is unfortunate and needs to stop.
Mayor Koijee stated that for too long he has been accused by Cllr. Jerome Verdier’s participation in the Liberia civil conflict which by now has been disproved, coupled with the recent accusation of him being the mastermind of the attacks at the home of former Justice Scott, which are unfounded and have an inner motive that must be investigated.
Koijee said that contrary to Cllr. Verdier’s accusation that the alleged killer Varlee Telleh is Deputy for operations at the Monrovia City Police, Varlee Telleh, is a patrolman at the Monrovia City Government, a Muslim professor, at the MASID TAHALELE Mosque in Brewerville, home to more than 200 students.
Mayor Jefferson Koijee: “Varlee Telleh, is employed with us at the City Government and has never held the position of Deputy For Operations. I challenge Cllr. Verdier to proof on the contrary.”
“Varlee Telleh is an iman of the Muslim Faith and had been living in Liberia since the end of the civil crisis peacefully.”
” Additionally, I wish you inform you that Mr. Varlee Telleh, is currently in Liberia and is employed with us at the Monrovia City Government, and as deemed fit or the Police, I commit to having him turn over to your good office for investigation as we all look forward to finding the perpetrators for climes against former chief Justice and the state.”
“Given the wonton claims by Cllr. Verdier, I have notified my lawyers both home and abroad to pursue a legal lawsuit against him to ascertain the truth to bring to end these repeated, unprovoked, groundless, and cure attacks on my person.” Mayor Jefferson Koijee wrote Justice Minister Musah Dean.
Late Monday evening, February 27, 20233, authorities of the Monrovia City metro Police paraded alleged exile Varlee Telleh, contrary to revelation by former Truth And Reconciliation Chairman, Cllr. Jerome Verdier.
Accused Varlee Telleh, told journalists that he wonders why he would be accused by Cllr. Verdier of murdering the granddaughter of former chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott.
Telleh stated that the accusation was far from the truth as it was crafted due to his former role played in the Liberian civil crisis as a rebel fighter of the defunct ULIMO.
Varlee Telleh denied ever intruding into the home of former Chief Justice Scott, nor murdering her little granddaughter.

Flanked by senior officers of the Monrovia City Police, Varlee Telleh detested the accusation by Cllr. Verdier said it is a well-crafted plan with the aid of his former rebel colleague Shelik Sackor, to damage his reputation and drag the image of Mayor Jefferson Koijee into disrepute as the prime target.
Responding to questions on whether he was deputy Director for operations as claimed by Cllr. Verdier, MCC police Director, Thomas Garwo, vehemently refuted the claims-‘saying at no time, was Varlee Telleh, had ever appointed to the position of Deputy Police Director, Monrovia City Police.

He alleged that the photo posted on social media was given to Cllr. Jerome Verdier by Sheilk Seckor.
On the issue of why was Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson Koijee not owning up to Varlee Telleh following the revelation that he was the major suspect in the murder case involving the granddaughter of Justice Musu Scott, MCC spokesman argued that the question had security implications to which Mayor Koijee could not adequately address in the absence of MCC Police Director Wilson Garwo.
