The Sixth Judicial Circuit Court for Montserrado County has ordered the National Elections Commission (NEC) to vacate a disputed property located on 9th Street in Sinkor, ruling in favor of the estate of the late Francis Marshall.
The decision, issued through the Civil Law Court, grants full possession of the property to the plaintiffs, represented by the estate’s administratrix, Mai Thompson, along with co-plaintiff Godwin Marshall. The court’s mandate directs the county sheriff to remove the NEC, its officials, and any individuals occupying the premises under its authority.
According to a writ of possession dated April 15, the enforcement follows a judgment delivered on April 13 during the court’s March Term. The presiding judge ordered that the ruling be carried out without delay, emphasizing the immediate repossession of the property by the rightful claimants.
In addition to executing the eviction, the court instructed the sheriff to document the process and submit an official report detailing how the order was implemented.
The dispute centers on the ownership of a valuable piece of real estate in Sinkor, one of Monrovia’s prime locations. The case highlights persistent tensions in Liberia surrounding land ownership, particularly conflicts involving government institutions and private estates.
