KAKATA, Liberia–Margibi County Attorney Cllr. H. Deddeh Jomah Wilson has issued a letter of clearance to Eric Wilise Wowoh, founder and Executive Director of the Change Agent Network (CAN), formally clearing him of criminal allegations tied to a 2.03-acre land dispute in the county.
The development comes weeks after the County Attorney on August 27, 2026 issued a restraining order, stop order, and a writ of arrest directing law enforcement in Margibi to take Mr. Wowoh and other individuals named in the complaint into custody.
The allegations
The complaint was filed by John and Rebekah Acquah through their attorney, Cllr. Stephen BigBoy Lavalah.
The Acquahs accused Mr. Wowoh of:
– Criminal conveyance of land
– Criminal trespass
– Criminal mischief
– Criminal conspiracy
– Criminal facilitation
– Theft of property
According to the complaint, the Acquahs alleged they acquired the 2.03-lot parcel from Mr. Wowoh, but later discovered that the same property was allegedly being offered or prepared for sale to other individuals.
The Liberia National Police, through *Units 102 and 105*, reportedly endorsed the arrest order and moved to enforce it. Law enforcement officers attempted to locate Mr. Wowoh but were unable to effect the arrest at the time.
Clearance issued
Following this publication and further review, the Margibi County Attorney’s Office has now issued Mr. Wowoh a “formal letter of clearance”.
In the letter, Cllr. Wilson clarified that Mr. Wowoh was “not on the run”, contrary to insinuations in earlier reports. The County Attorney noted that all legal requirements relating to the matter have been addressed.
Reacting to the clearance, Mr. Wowoh expressed appreciation to the County Attorney for ensuring due process and urged the public to desist from politicizing land matters.
Background
Land disputes remain a major source of civil and criminal cases in Margibi County. Legal authorities continue to urge citizens to follow proper legal channels in the transfer and acquisition of property to avoid litigation.
