Monrovia – Squatters accused by Liberia’s Ministry of National Defense of illegally occupying the 72nd Barracks have been given a five-day ultimatum to leave or be forcibly removed by the ministry.

Minister Brownie Samukai promised to use force if anyone fails to live up to the mandate, declaring that the ministry is resolved in its ultimatum to the squatters. However, members of the House of Representatives have made intervention, citing the minister to a public hearing through a communication from Representative Thomas Fallah (CDC-District #5 Montserrado County). The Lower House says it is intervening to avoid possible tensions between the occupants and the ministry in the process of using force to evict the occupants instead of using the courts.
