County Attorney Challenges Bond Posted By Sherman and Tyler

May 30, 2016 by

MONROVIA, Montserrado – Reports gathered by The Bush Chicken say Montserrado County Attorney Daku Mulbah has filed a motion before the judge of Criminal Court C at the Temple of Justice challenging criminal appearance bonds posted by Senator Varney Sherman and House Speaker Alex Tyler.

The two top government officials were indicted on bribery charges related to the Global Witness report.

According to reports from Mulinda T. Mulbah, a journalist who was following the developments, Daku Mulbah challenged both bonds on grounds that they are defective.

The motion was filed late Friday evening and seeks to incarcerate the pair until the trial.

Tyler’s bond was insured by Sky International Insurance Corporation for US$150,000 while the bonds for Sherman, Jones, and Onanuga were collectively insured by Omega Insurance Company for US$1.5 million.

More details about the exact nature of Daku Mulbah’s challenge are expected shortly.
