Prince Johnson Biography

Prince Johnson is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 6, 1952 in Tapeta, Nimba, Liberia. Prince Yormie Johnson, a Liberian politician, is the current Senior Senator for Nimba County. He was born 6 July 1952. Johnson, a former rebel leader, played a significant role in the First Liberian Civil War. He captured, tortured, mutilated and executed President Samuel Doe. Doe had overthrown and killed the previous president William R. Tolbert Jr.

Johnson’s supporters kidnapped President Samuel Doe at ECOMOG headquarters in Monrovia, port district, on September 9, 1990. Doe was taken to Johnson’s custody and tortured. The spectacle was videotaped and broadcast all over the globe. Johnson was seen sipping Budweiser beer while being fanned and tamed by his assistants as Doe was cut off.

An internal power struggle resulted in Johnson breaking off from the Taylor- led NPFL and forming the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL). Despite intervention in the civil war by the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), INPFL forces captured most of Monrovia in the late summer of 1990.

Johnson returned to Liberia in March 2004, following the resignation of Taylor as president and the installation of a transitional government. He stated his intention to return to politics, though he briefly left Liberia again on 7 April due to death threats he had received from the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) rebel group. In the 2005 general elections, Johnson contested and won a Senate seat representing Nimba County. For a period he served as the chair of the Senate’s defence committee.

Johnson was later an ally of Charles Taylor in the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, and served as the Chief Training Officer of the NPFL. Taylor’s fighters crossed from Ivory Coast to begin operations in Liberia on Christmas Eve 1989.

Johnson was born in Tapeta in Nimba County in the east-central interior. He was raised by an uncle in Monrovia. Johnson joined the Liberian Guard (LNG) while he was living in Monrovia in 1971. This group became the Armed Forces of Liberia in 1980 after the overthrow of President William R. Tolbert by Samuel Doe.

He was promoted to Lieutenant and received military training in Liberia as well as the United States. In the United States, he was trained in South Carolina military police duties. He was a strict, sometimes draconian disciplinarian who served as an aide-de camp to Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa (the Commanding General of Liberia’s Armed Forces) and accompanied Quiwonkpa into exile in 1983 after Quiwonkpa was charged with plotting a coup against Doe.

During the civil war Johnson was notorious for killing anyone who opposed or criticised his actions. When Hare Krishna devotees, who were distributing food to starving people in Monrovia in the midst of the chaos of the civil war, sent him a letter begging him to stop killing people, he personally orchestrated the murder of Hladini devi dasi—born Linda Jury—and five of her students on the bank of the Saint Paul River on the night of Thursday, 13 September 1990.
