Jonathan T. Massaquoi, of the lawyers representing the legal interest of co-defendant and a Liberian businessman Musa Bility, is accusing the Solicitor General of the Republic of Liberia, Cllr. Massaquoi claimed that Cephus’ action is a disgraceful attack on the rule of law and the attorney and client relationship. Massaquoi said, since there is no criminal investigation that involves the defendants, particularly Bility, Cephus cannot ask for traveling restriction against any of the defendants. Massaquoi also argued that Cephus’ writ is an obvious display of vexation and retaliation against Bility and the other defendants, who had earlier interposed antagonistic defense against Corkrum. “Cephus’ writ is an endeavor to represent Corkrum with whom the solicitor general has an existence attorney-client relationship, as a lawyer in his same matter,” Massaquoi further argued.
