Monrovia — Judge Melvin Johnson, one half of the fugitive pair which have been terrorizing the Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf government with a series of secretly-recorded tapes of senior administration officials, has been arrested in Lithonia, Georgia, USA as a fugitive from justice. Johnson's arrest is labeled under the U.S. Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (UCEA). An extradition is surrendering the custody of an accused from one state or country to another state or country to place the accused on trial or punishment."
However, FrontPageAfrica has learned that Johnson's arrest may be unrelated to the Liberian case.
