Three Liberian soldiers have been recalled after a woman was stabbed in the arm.

They were enforcing a two-week lockdown put in place to limit the spread of coronavirus in the capital, Monrovia.

Gen Prince Johnson (not the 1990s rebel leader and current senator of the same name) told the BBC the soldiers under investigation include an area commander leading a community patrol.

He said that the current army was "a force for good - we will not compromise when it comes to discipline”.

President George Weah declared a state of emergency on 10 April which included restrictions on movement.

Since the restrictions came into force, social media has been awash with reports of brutality by security forces.
