Joseph Boakai, Jr., son of the President and Masked men believed to be associated with the drug cartel accused Jojo of being their associate, and issued an ultimatum to the Liberian government, demanding the release of their detained associates and the seized drugs; warning that they would forcibly retrieve them if their demands were not met.

WHAT JOJO BOAKAI’S STATEMENT SETTLES, AND WHAT IT DOESN’T

It was also, on its own terms, incomplete — a personal denial delivered before any investigation has concluded, addressing the questions he chose to answer rather than all the ones being asked.
