Monrovia- On Friday, November 8,2019, was a scene of smiles, Joys and reliefs for Former National Housing Authority boss, Duannah Siryon and his two principal deputies, Tugbeh Tugbeh and Isaac C. Robert, when Criminal Court ‘C’ passed a not guilty verdict.

They were indicted year, December 14, 2018 and finally acquitted November 8,2019.

“Whether or not the prosecution proved its case beyond all reasonable? The answer is ‘no’. The prosecution willfully failed to establish its prima facie against the defendants in the absence of Augustine Weah and Emmanuel Taosoba (officials of the Burkinabe firm who allegedly brought the money). There is no evidence at all to convict the defendants. There is no proven evidence because Emmanuel Taosoba and Augustine Weah, [also] defendants, escaped the bailiwick of the Republic of Liberia,” Judge Blamo ruled.

He continued: “Wherefore and in view of the foregoing and in consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and the laws controlling, it is the final verdict or judgement of the Criminal Court ‘C’ that Duannah Siryon, Tugbeh C. Tugbeh and Isaac C. Robert are hereby adjudged not guilty of Economic Sabotage, Criminal Conspiracy, Misapplication of Entrusted property and others. They are hereby set free from further answering to the multiple crimes,” The Ruling concluded.
