TEMPLE OF JUSTICE, Monrovia- Fierce disagreement has ensued among justice actors over the writ of indictment and arrest for Senate Secretary General Ndaborlor Singbeh and former NIC boss George Gyude Wisner, with accusing fingers pointing to Solicitor General Syrenius Cephus for repeatedly meddling with the case.

He is recused from legally playing any role in the case, along with Cllrs. Musa Dean and Edwin Kla Martin.

Cllr. Cephas maintains that the LACC has dismissed the corruption case against the two after it handed a request for the withdrawal of findings it previously submitted to the Justice Ministry.

But the Assistant Minister of Justice for Litigation, Cllr. Wisseh A. Wisseh denied his claims on grounds that the ministry began acting on the case within the 60 day statutory time frame and that there was no legal basis for withdrawal of the case.

One of the defendants, Wisner, had earlier posted on Facebook saying he has had a good discussion with Cephas during which he (Cephas) who apologized to him (Wisner) for the indictment against him and the embarrassment it has brought on his reputation.

Mr. Wisner further wrote that Cephas acknowledged his innocence, assured him that he would publicly withdraw his indictment and accompanied that with a certificate.

When contacted about the veracity of Wisner’s Facebook comments, Cephas neither confirmed nor denied, but simply said he was dealing with the LACC  withdrawal not only related to Wisner, but others indicted along with him. He termed the indictment as a corporate dispute which has no legal basis.

For his part, Mr. Wisner told our www.newspublictrust.com Reporter that he stands by all that he posted on Facebook regarding his discussion with the Solicitor General.

A letter in our possession quotes Justice Minister Cllr. Frank Musa Dean as saying he (Dean) is recused from the case along with Cephus and Montserrado County Attorney Edwin Kla Martin.

Meanwhile, meanwhile the Sheriff of Criminal Court C, who had gone to the home of Ndaborlor to serve him the writ of arrest, was met upon arrival by his wife who told him her husband was not well and was self-quarantined.
