Civil Law Court Issues Travel Ban On Fadiga Brothers, Following Petition by Former LDEA Boss Kromah
The Civil Law Court for Montserrado County, sitting in its June Term A.D. 2025, has issued a Writ of Ne Exeat Republica against Messrs. Hassan Fadiga and Hussein Fadiga, prohibiting them from leaving Liberia while legal proceedings are ongoing.
The writ, signed by Clerk of Court Victor G. Gailor and issued under the directive of Assigned Circuit Judge His Honor George W. Smith, was prompted by a petition filed by Mr. Abraham K. Kromah, former head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA).
In his filing, Kromah alleged that the Fadigas are preparing to depart the country in a manner detrimental to his legal interests.
While specific details of the writ remain unclear, the court determined that there was sufficient cause to prevent the respondents from departing the jurisdiction.
Mr. Hassan Fadiga is listed as the first respondent, while Mr. Hussein Fadiga, a social commentator, is named as the second respondent.
Both have been ordered to appear before the Civil Law Court by 10:00 a.m. on June 19, 2025, to respond to the petition.
The court has instructed that if the respondents are unable to post bail approved by the court, they are to be remanded to the Montserrado County Central Prison until they meet the bail conditions.
The Sheriff of Montserrado County has been directed to arrest the respondents and ensure their appearance in court.
The writ also requires the Sheriff’s official return of service to be submitted to the Clerk of Court by the June 19 deadline.
This legal development has attracted public attention, particularly due to Mr. Hussein Fadiga’s outspoken presence in national discourse.
Legal analysts note that the issuance of a Writ of Ne Exeat Republica, a rarely invoked but significant legal tool, underscores the seriousness of the petitioner’s claims and the court’s intent to retain jurisdiction over the matter.
