Liberia Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Opposition Figure

The Monrovia city court has issued an arrest warrant against a Liberian opposition figure Alexander Cummings on allegations of forgery and criminal conspiracy.

The case was brought to court by Benoni Urey of the All Liberian Party (ALP), accusing Cummings of forging the coalition agreement document by editing and replacing a section on how parties can exit the coalition.

Alexander Cummings says the ALP wants to leave the coalition and accused Mr Urey of being used by the government to create disunity within the opposition.

Meanwhile, Mr Urey said a crime had been committed and the ALP had to seek redress in court after internal dispute mechanisms failed.

He said there had been many disagreements within the coalition but most parties were ready to work together.
