The Council of Patriots (COP) has filed a formal complaint to the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), alerting the ministry about vehicles belonging to some of its members being missing.

The COP wants the MOJ to launch an investigation into the incident and ensure that the properties are retrieved.

“We sent this letter to formally complain about the breaking into and taking away of two vehicles belonging to two members of the COP,” the communication signed by the Secretary-General of the political pressure group said.

The two vehicles, according to COP belong to Montserrado County District #10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah, who is also an executive member of the COP.

The advocacy group on Monday January 6, 2020 staged a mass protest at the legislature calling on president Weah to address counts contained in the June 7, 2019 protest.

The peaceful protest later turned bitter as police used teargas and water cannon to disperse that planned to sleep on the main street of Monrovia until their concerns are addressed.

COP in the letter to the Justice Ministry also reported  some materials missing , including an amplifier, laptop, three wireless microphones, 2.5 KVA generator, a sack of water, vehicle registration and insurance papers in the vehicles, the said it  were taken away.

“The Toyota SUV Green RAV4 (Plate #HOR -65) had vehicle registration and insurance papers, laptops computer, etc. These two vehicles belong to Hon- Yekeh Kolubah,” said COP in their letter.

Other items the COP said went missing include water sacks and other cooking utensils.
