Monrovia – Liberian businessman Musa Bility, one of several persons placed on a government latest travel sanction, has asked the court to cancel the ban. On February 6, 2020, the Ministry of Justice filed a writ of travel ban to the Monrovia City Court requesting that the court prohibits seven persons including Mr. Bility from leaving the country. Jonathan Massaquoi of the International Law Group (ILG), called on the court to dismiss and deny the writ filed by the state at the Monrovia city. Massaquoi argued that the Ministry of Justice “failed and neglected to prove and prosecute the charges” thereby causing Mr. Bility “enormous embarrassment and reputational damage”. Massaquoi the writ, which also orders the arrest of businessman Bility, is defective and legally void.
