Lawmaker Kogar is representing the people of Nimba in the 54th National Legislature. He is the current Chairman of the People's Unification Party .It can be recalled that the Criminal Court at the Temple of Justice acquitted Makki Ahmed Issam, Adulai Djalo, Oliver Zayzay, and Malam Conte, who were tried on charges of money laundering, unlicensed possession of controlled drugs, unlicensed importation of controlled drugs worth US$100M, and criminal conspiracy.
The Ministry of Justice, through Minister Frank Musa Dean, described as appalling the not guilty verdict of Criminal Court"A" of the first judicial Circuit Court of Montserrado County at the Temple of Justice presided over by Judge A. Blamo Dixon in the 100-million drug bust trial. He said it becomes worrisome and shameful as in the case of the recent verdict, for the courts to be setting hardcore criminals free when the evidence is overwhelming in the face of international security collaboration that tracked and brought the perpetrators of this heinous crime before the law.
The Justice Minister said the ruling has also brought Liberia to international ridicule. He said even more lampooning is the fact that hours after the verdict and the release of the defendants by Judge A Blamo Dixon, the four men have now absconded. He wondered why the men would flee or hide if they truly believed that they had committed no criminal offence. This is sickening, he said.
He claimed that the government blundered when it failed to preserve the US$100M worth of cocaine it claimed was arrested from the suspects. He questioned the justification given by authorities of the Liberian security sector that the cartel could"kill anyone at any time" if the US$100M cocaine was preserved by the government
