Armed men gunned down Liberia's head of Public Procurement and Concession Commission, Chief Keith Jubah. He was killed last Sunday while visiting his rubber farm, 35 miles north of the capital Monrovia. Investigations are ongoing and the police is yet to pronounce on the motive behind the incident.
According to the Daily Observer newspaper in Liberia, Jubah’s outfit is one of the sensitive institutions set up at the end of Liberia's civil war in 2003 to fight corruption. It reviews business deals and scrutinizes government expenditures.
The BBC quoted a relative who said the body was set on fire but failed to totally consume because of rains.
