The Monrovia City Court has ruled that the arson case involving former House Speaker Fonati Koffa and four other lawmakers will go to trial. The decision follows a preliminary hearing earlier this week in the Liberian capital, where the court rejected a motion to dismiss the charges.
The accused—Koffa, Abu Kamara, Dixon Seboe, and Jacob Debee—were recently granted bail after being held at Monrovia Central Prison. They face serious felony charges, including arson, attempted murder, and criminal conspiracy, linked to an alleged attack on the Capitol premises.
The case has drawn national attention, as it involves high-profile political figures and could have significant implications for Liberia’s legal and political landscape.
