Monrovia – Supreme Court Justice in Chambers, Joseph Nagbe, on Tuesday placed a stay order on the release of Oliver Dillon, just few hours after the Criminal Court “A” Judge had ordered his release on bail. But Judge Willie’s order has been stayed until May 15. This means Dillon, brother of Abraham Dillon, a strong critic of the government, would remain in prison until the Justice in Chambers, and possibly the full bench looks into the judge’s ruling. The stay order on Judge Willie’s ruling was triggered by a Writ of Certiorari sought by the state lawyers. State lawyers resisted the motion in a counter argument and asked the court to deny and dismiss the motion.
