The Monrovia City Court has ruled that there is sufficient evidence for an arson case involving four lawmakers, including former Speaker Jonathan Koffa, to proceed to trial. Following preliminary hearings, the case has been officially transferred to Criminal Court “A” for further proceedings.
The lawmakers had filed a motion seeking the dismissal of the charges, which include arson and other alleged criminal offenses. However, the court found probable cause to continue with the prosecution.
The decision comes after days of legal arguments and growing public attention surrounding the high-profile case. With the matter now set to move to the upper court, all eyes will be on the proceedings in Criminal Court “A” as the legal process continues.
Further details regarding the specific charges and timeline for the trial have yet to be disclosed.
