Monrovia – The Monrovia City Court at the Temple of Justice on Wednesday, February 19 canceled the government’s travel ban placed on President of the Liberia Bank for Development and Investment, John Davies and businessman Musa Bility. Stipendiary Magistrate Jomah Jallah stated that it cannot place travel ban on the two individuals because there is no case before the Magisterial Court. Massaquoi, the court only has a jurisdiction on a suspect only when he is investigated, charged and brought under the jurisdiction of the court. “Solicitor General Cephas, Montserrado County Attorney Martin both represented Ellen Corkrum and John Davies, their actions to place travel ban on our client is a gross violation of the law,” argued Massaquoi. Following arguments by both adversarial counsels, the court then ruled, cancelling the travel ban.
