MONROVIA — Former Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor says she was stopped en route to Roberts International Airport, where she was due to fly to Accra, Ghana, to take part in a women’s program, and was then confronted by a heavy police presence.
In a statement, Taylor said: “I was on my way to the airport to take part in a women’s program when I was informed that I am not allowed to leave the country. Five cars of riot police [arrived/were sent]. They haven’t told me anything. I have been asked to report to the police station. I am on my way there now.”
Taylor said the order came from the Inspector General, though authorities have not given her a reason for the restriction.
