In a startling turn of events during his inauguration ceremony on Monday, January 22, 2024,
Liberia’s newly sworn-in President, 79-year-old Joseph Boakai, experienced a sudden bout of ‘heat-induced faintness.’
The alarming incident prompted him to abruptly cut short his acceptance speech and be swiftly escorted off the podium in the capital city, Monrovia.
Amidst concerns for his well-being, the president’s office released a statement attributing the episode to exhaustion.
However, it assured the public that medical professionals had subsequently deemed Boakai “perfectly fine,” offering some reassurance about the leader’s health.
