The Monrovia City Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of two individuals, Presley Tenwah and Elvis D. Johnson, on charges of impersonating an official and menacing.

The Monrovia City Court has issued a warrant for the arrest of two individuals, Presley Tenwah and Elvis D. Johnson, on charges of impersonating an official and menacing. This judicial action, taken on Thursday, October 8, 2026, follows a formal complaint lodged by Aminata Bangura, who is identified in court documents as a private prosecutrix. The warrant specifically commands the arrest of Tenwah and Johnson to compel their appearance before the court to address allegations that they falsely presented themselves as senior management within Global Tracking and Maritime Solutions (GTMS) Liberia Incorporated.

The complaint details that the defendants not only claimed unauthorized positions but also allegedly issued threats against individuals who questioned their purported authority. This Liberia GTMS impersonation arrest warrant highlights a significant legal challenge for the company, as the accused are alleged to have spread claims of having seized control of GTMS Liberia and being authorized to conduct its business operations. The court's writ underscores the seriousness of these accusations, demanding a formal response from the individuals named.

According to the complaint, Presley Tenwah allegedly presented himself as the General Manager for Liberia, while Elvis D. Johnson claimed the titles of Public Relations Executive and Operations Manager for GTMS Liberia Incorporated. The basis for their purported appointments, as stated by the defendants, was an authorization from Sahr H. W. Ngegba, who they asserted was a director of the company. However, the complainant, Aminata Bangura, explicitly refutes this, stating that Ngegba holds no recognized position within GTMS Liberia's corporate structure and therefore lacked any legitimate authority to make such appointments.

The situation escalated when the defendants were confronted about their claims. Instead of clarifying their positions, they allegedly resorted to threats against those who challenged them. The court document specifies that Tenwah and Johnson threatened that anyone obstructing their path would be "destroyed, killed and harmed." These actions, coupled with their alleged false representations of corporate control and business authorization, are cited as potentially damaging to GTMS Liberia's operations and overall corporate interests. The Elvis D. Johnson charges and Presley Tenwah arrest are directly linked to these specific allegations of misrepresentation and intimidation.

The legal basis for the Liberia GTMS impersonation arrest warrant stems from Liberia's Revised Penal Law. The writ specifically references Chapter 14, Section 14.25, which pertains to impersonating an official, and Chapter 12, Section 12.35, addressing menacing. These statutory provisions underpin the description of the defendants' alleged conduct as both unlawful and intentional. The issuance of the warrant by the Monrovia City Court mandates the defendants' appearance to answer these serious allegations, initiating a formal legal process.

It is crucial to note that the issuance of an arrest writ does not equate to a finding of guilt; rather, it signifies the commencement of judicial examination into the allegations. As of Thursday, it was not confirmed whether Presley Tenwah or Elvis D. Johnson had been apprehended or presented before the court. Furthermore, no statement or response from either defendant regarding the accusations was available at the time of publication. This GTMS Liberia legal dispute raises important questions regarding unauthorized corporate representation and internal authority, with further court proceedings anticipated to thoroughly evaluate the merits of the complaint and determine if the allegations can be legally substantiated.

Lawyers and compliance officers should review internal protocols for verifying official appointments and corporate authority to prevent unauthorized representation, and be aware of the penal law implications for impersonation and menacing in Liberia, as this case demonstrates the potential for criminal charges.
