Supreme Court Upholds Eviction of CDC from Disputed Property

By Melvin Jackson.

The Supreme Court of Liberia has upheld the lower court’s decision to evict the former ruling party, the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), from the disputed property it is currently using as its headquarters.

The court on Thursday dismissed a bill of information filed by CDC lawyers challenging the eviction order. The high court ruled the CDC’s petition lacked legal grounds and failed to show any interference with its earlier judgment.

As part of the ruling, three CDC lawyers — A. Ndubuisi Nwabudike, Thompson M. Jargba, and James N. Kumeh — were fined $500 US dollars each. They must pay the amount to the government within 72 hours.

In March 2024, the court had ordered CDC’s eviction from the Interstate Estate, placing the property under the administration of the Martha Stubblefield Barnard family.

The CDC had occupied the property for years under a lease agreement but was previously found liable for unpaid rent amounting to $50,000 US dollars.
