MONROVIA – FrontPageAfrica has been reliably informed that Mr. Isaac Vah Tukpah is being escorted back to Monrovia by officers of the Liberia Immigration Service after he was stopped from crossing to neighboring Sierra Leone on Tuesday.
Sources say though there was no order for his arrest, his ID cards are held by officers at the Immigration Service. It is not clear why he was not allowed to continue his journey this morning when the borders open.
Mr. Tukpah was stopped from leaving the country on Tuesday after, according to sources, he received a tipoff that there was a planned arrest for him.
He was picked up by operatives of the National Security Agency, sources say.
Mr. Tukpah resigned his post with the opposition Alternative National Congress (ANC) on Tuesday after he came under fire for publishing in a recently released book co-authored by him and Emmanuel Clarke, an alleged conversation he and President Weah had had concerning his wife, Mrs. Clar Weah.
The details of the alleged conversation as published have been condemned as an affront not only to the First Lady but womanhood.
He resigned following a request from the political leader, Cummings, who termed the publication as an “error of judgement”.
Mr. Cummings expressed his regrets over the publication, though the book was written long before Mr. Tukpah was hired to serve as his Chief of Office Staff.
