Charles Taylor’s disappearance from Nigeria
Perhaps you have not heard, well, it’s in the news: ex-President Charles Taylor has ‘dissappeared’ from his residence in Nigeria. [See the BBC report]
“Liberia’s ex-President Charles Taylor, wanted on war crimes charges, has disappeared from the villa where he lived in exile, Nigeria has said.
All of those supposed to have been guarding him have been arrested.”
Just yesterday, I was reading an article on the BBC website about how Calabar was such a secured place, and that Charles Taylor was effectively under-arrest.
Well, he has done it again. Charles Taylor has beat the Nigerian security, and is now on the loose. A wounded lion is on the loose. One can only wish that he is not on his way to disstabilize the fragile democracy in Liberia. If only the UN court in Sierra Leone had listened to the voices of reason, they would have known that this is the time for re-construction in Liberia, and not the time to chase Charles Taylor.
