Monrovia, Liberia- Liberia’s Solicitor General, Cllr. Saymah Syrenius Cephas has referred to his boss Justice Minister Cllr. Frank Musa Dean as the Biblical “Judas Iscariot” in ongoing forgery case opposition ANC political leader Alexander Cummings and others are allegedly involved in.
As Garmah Never Lomo reports, the Justice Minister is said to have failed to take a firm decision into the ongoing trial of ANC Political Leader Alexander Cummings and others.
In the case, Benoni Urey’s All Liberian Party (ALP) is accusing Cummings, who was chairman of the fractured Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), of fingering the CPP Framework Document.
What is said to be a leak text message from Cllr. Cephas to Spoon Fm/Tv Chief Executive Officer says a lot of misinformation is going on about my role in the Alexander B. Cummings and others trial.
But the message says the truth is that, it was the Minister of Justice, Cllr. Frank Musa Dean who ordered the re-issuance of a writ of arrest against them after it was quashed.
“I am only a prosecutor who is acting under his control and supervision but he afraid to firm decision and believes that I will unilaterally abandon the case so that he can use it against me to the government and the people of Liberia.
THE TEXT MESSAGE:
But Justice Minister Dean has claimed that SG Cephus has shown no regard to him in the Cummings case.
In a press statement on Monday, April 25, 2022, Minister Dean called on the Solicitor General to submit all the evidence he collected that led to the prosecution of the case in question.
Justice Ministry’s press release
Earlier, Cllr. Dean told the local FrontpageAfrica newspaper that the Solicitor General runs a parallel Ministry and shows him no regard as the Minister of Justice.
“He calls himself the Chief Prosecutor and does not report to me. I know nothing about what S.G. Cephus does,” the Justice Minister stated.
