MONROVIA – Mr. Alvin Teage Jalloh, a Liberian with American citizenship, has won a landmark dual citizenship case against the Government of Liberia at the Supreme Court in Liberia. Jalloh, a natural-born Liberian was denied travel document by the Liberian Embassy in Washington when he sought to travel Liberia. The Embassy had informed him he needed a non-immigrant Liberian visa before he could be permitted to enter Liberia. The Embassy’s claim was pursuant to the Alien and Nationality Law of Liberia. These, he contends, were repealed by Article 95(a) of the 1986 Constitution as being inconsistent with the due process clause of Article 20(a).
