They were subsequently hosted by one Pinky Luogon who claims to be their boss, at her premises located in Paynesville Bernard Farm.
According to the BIN charge sheet, the 15 defendants were arrested based upon verified information gathered by immigration officers, noting that these individuals illegally, criminally and defiantly entered Liberia’s borders in violation of a mandate by the President to close all borders as a measure to contain the deadly Ebola virus.
Meanwhile, the travelling documents of the suspects, including their host Pinky Luogon, are currently in the possession of immigration authorities.
The 15 defendants are currently undergoing investigation at the Monrovia City Court at the Temple of Justice in Monrovia.
