Almost five years after he was indicted, a Philadelphia man has been arrested on charges that he lied in an immigration hearing that led to the deportation of George Boley, the former Clarkson resident who’d been a Liberian warlord. According to a US online outlet, the Democrat & Chronicle, Federal authorities announced Monday that they’d arrested Isaac Kannah, 51, on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Authorities found Kannah in Philadelphia, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey. Kannah, a witness for Boley at the trial held at the federal detention center in Batavia, lied multiple times, authorities allege. While Boley has returned to Liberia, he apparently has not been prosecuted there for any alleged offense.
