Former Liberian President Charles Ghankay Taylor who is currently serving 50 years sentence in The Hague has requested the court to grant him damages on 1,000 acres of land in the Bernard farm community in Paynesville. The case, which is entitled Charles Ghankay Taylor versus David Scott, Charles Box, Edwin Glay, Francis Kanley et al was filed to the Sixth Judicial Circuit in 2009, three years after the former President was flown to the Netherlands to answer charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity. He disclosed that the acres of land were purchased and he received a transfer deed from Kerkula Bayoh Kpoto, then owner of the land.
