MONROVIA – Ms Global Company, based in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, has filed a lawsuit against Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated, owned by Mr. Houssein Cheaitou, Consul General of Colombia in Liberia, at the Commercial Court in Monrovia, over an alleged unpaid debt of US$103,037.33.

The lawsuit arises from unpaid invoices for 1,248 boxes of fresh brown and white table eggs, which the company claims Cheaitou Brothers failed to pay for.
According to court documents, the plaintiff is seeking payment of US$59,883.60, in addition to six percent annual interest, court costs, and any other relief deemed just and equitable by the court.
The suit was filed on behalf of Ms Global Company by Cllr. Albert S. Sims and Cllr. Moses Peagar of Justice Advocates and Partners, Inc.
Court records indicate that on February 20, 2025, Ms Global Company and Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated agreed to a contract for the supply of small hen eggs. Prior to shipment, a third-party inspection company—authorized and witnessed by Ms Global’s quality control team—verified that the eggs met all contractual specifications and were fit for human consumption.
The container, numbered CGMU-5454610, carrying the 1,248 boxes, arrived in Liberia on June 2, 2025, was discharged on June 4, and offloading at Cheaitou Brothers’ warehouse began on June 5, 2025.
Following offloading, an internal inspection by Cheaitou Brothers reportedly confirmed minor damage, for which the company demanded a US$1,000 compensation. That claim, according to court documents, was accepted, settled, and closed by Ms Global Company.
However, on July 31, 2025, Cheaitou Brothers, through its manager Mr. Vinit Nair, reportedly requested a US$3,000 discount due to the mix of brown and white eggs and their size, but did not allege that the eggs were rotten or unfit for consumption. Ms Global Company rejected the discount request, insisting that the goods delivered were in full conformity with Contract No. 3441YR2025.
The plaintiff further alleges that despite repeated attempts to resolve the matter amicably, Cheaitou Brothers ceased communication. Consequently, Ms Global Company dispatched its Export Manager, Ms. Samira El Bahlili, to Liberia to pursue payment, but this effort also proved unsuccessful.
After several failed attempts, Ms Global Company retained Justice Advocates and Partners, Inc. to initiate legal action. A formal demand was issued on September 12, 2025, requesting payment or a settlement meeting by September 17, 2025, but Cheaitou Brothers allegedly failed to respond, leading to the filing of the lawsuit.
The plaintiff is therefore seeking a court judgment compelling Cheaitou Brothers Incorporated to pay the US$103,037.33 debt, plus interest and associated costs.
“Wherefore, in view of the foregoing, the plaintiff prays Your Honors to enter judgment against the defendant,” the court filing concludes.
