They Said It Was "White Mercenaries." He Was There. He Says Different.

For over 40 years, we’ve heard the stories about April 12, 1980. We’ve heard about the "white hand" that killed President Tolbert. We’ve heard the conspiracies.
But have you ever heard from the SSS agent who was guarding the 4th floor that night?

In a powerful new interview on Unfiltered with FunTimes, Hon. Joseph C. Kekula (former Inspector General) breaks his silence. He takes us back to that terrifying night inside the Executive Mansion.

He reveals:
Why people thought they saw a white man (it was actually a light-skinned Liberian soldier nicknamed "Cowboy").
The heartbreaking betrayal of Major Gabriel Moore, a trusted aide who drove the assassins’ car.
The exact moment a "swinging door" gave away their hiding spot.
"I can never break down from that night up to today," Kekula says.
This is a story every Liberian needs to hear to understand our history.

Do you remember where you were when you heard the news in 1980? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇

Her journey reminds every young African girl that your background cannot cage your vision. The sky opens for those who rise with faith, effort, and resilience.

Your wings are already forming. Keep going.
