Alfred T. Glay, a Liberian political dissident opposed to the government of Charles Taylor, was assassinated Thursday, April 25, 2002, near Kasoa in Ghana.
The accused assassins, now in custody in Ghana, are both Liberians from Monrovia having arrived three days before in a Liberian taxi after passing through Cote d’Ivoire.
They had continued to operate the cab while in Ghana, and offered General Glay a ride from a wake he had attended.
After killing Glay they dumped his body beside the road.
A huge outcry from the Liberian exile community caused the Ghanaian police todetain the two men, one named Charles [surname unknown at this time], and one named C. Wesseh.
Both of them, according to the exile community, have long been connected with Charles Taylor, and at least one of them fought alongside Taylor in his war against the previous government of Liberia.
