Monrovia - Justices of the Supreme Court have requested lawyers representing suspended former ECOWAS Justice, Cllr. Wright was suspended in 2017 by the Supreme Court of Liberia for allegedly committing conflict of interest in 2009 while serving as Liberia’s Solicitor General. On March 30, 2017, Wright filed an action of violation of human rights in the community court of justice of ECOWAS against Liberia. Taiwon Gongolo, one of the counsels who represented Wilkins during the argument at the Supreme Court, argued that since the mandate of the Supreme Court was sent to the ECOWAS Court, his client (Wright) ceased to practice law. The Supreme Court is requesting that the purported legal suit that was filed at the ECOWAS Court in Nigeria should be brought before them (Supreme Court) to ascertain whether or not the former ECOWAS court judge was not in defiance of the Supreme Court’s mandate.
