Monrovia-Former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah has appeared in court with his team of lawyers.
“He is in court now as I speak to you. He did nothing wrong so he will come here to defend himself,” another family member at the court who escorted him said.
“He came here on nis own. He walked here freely and there was no arrest for him. He was never put in handfull. When he arrived, he was taken to the Sheriff office and his indictment was given to him,” our reporter said.
Samuel Tweah leaves court
Former minister Tweah returned to Liberia late Tuesday. He was among one of former government officials indicated for alleged corruption.
The Monrovia City Court issued an indictment against him and several former officials from ex-President George Weah’s administration, accusing them of involvement in a staggering $500 million corruption scheme. But he described the indictment as “politically motivated witch-hunt”
Following that, it was alleged that a communication was sent to International Police to arrest him. But he has decided to voluntarily return home.
