Reports reaching [The Inquirer Newspaper] say that some senior officers of the Armed Forces of Liberia will be subjected to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for their alleged back-stage involvement in the week-long protest that led to the resignation of the Minister of National Defense, Retired Maj. Gen. Prince C. Johnson.
Mutiny is an open rebellion or disrespect against constituted authorities, especially by soldiers against their senior officers. . . .
Minister Johnson’s resignation followed a nationwide protestation by some women who claimed to be wives of personnel of the Armed Forces of Liberia and operated under the banner ‘Army Wives Association of Liberia,’ who described him (Johnson) as a “dreadful, power-drunk, inhumane, and impassionate individual. . . .
However, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia assured that a thorough investigation will be carried out into the officers who led their wives into the streets to disrupt the celebration of the 67th Armed Forces Day and that a report should be made to him within a two weeks.
