	Yormie Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1990, Johnson was allied with Charles Taylor as part of the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL), which began operations in Liberia in December, 1989.
		Although recently Johnson has denied killing Doe, there is no question that Doe was brutally executed in Johnson's custody on September 9, 1990, as the spectacle was videotaped and seen on news reports around the world.
		Johnson is a former warlord and tribal leader, and refers to himself as "Prince." Although certain ethnic groups of Liberia have in the past had traditional lineages of royalty based in part on warrior status, Johnson is not a member of such a group and the "prince" title is his own creation.

		In the period after the abduction (and eventual murder) of president Samuel Doe, from 9 September 1990 until 22 November 1990, principal mutineer "Prince" Yormie Johnson, and coconspirator Charles Taylor both made claims on the presidency.
