BREAKING NEWS: Richard Walker Arrested; Making Total Arrest to 4; One At-large

Richard Walker now becomes the 4th person to be arrested in ongoing CBL missing billions saga

Monrovia – Richard Walker, another of the five suspects in the ongoing “missing’ 16 billions saga, has been arrested and spending his first night in Police custody. He was picked up by the police upon his arrival in Liberia this evening.

Walker’s arrest amounts to four of the five defendants charged by the Liberia National Police with Criminal Conspiracy, Economic Sabotage, Misuse of Public Money, Property or Records and Illegal Disbursement and Expenditure of Public Money.

The only person remaining now is Joseph G. Dennis, who is at-large.

The first three defendants Milton Weeks, Charles Sirleaf and Dorbor Hagba are currently spending their first night at the famous Monrovia Central prison.

Walker will be served the same charged sheet and may probably join the three on grounds that the bond is one to be filed.
