Monrovia-The Administrator of the Intestate Estate of Martha Stubblefield Bernard, Ebrima Varney Dempster, has disclosed that he will accept from the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) the sum of US$4.5 Million, if they desire to acquire the property that they are using for headquarters in Congo town.
Mr. Dempster said he has no personal problem with the CDC but said he was only seeking justice because the CDC leadership was taking sides to use their power and authority with money to take on the property.
He emphasized that his desire is for justice rather than personal conflict has been vindicated in the public through the legal process.
On May 28, 2025, the Supreme Court of Liberia dismissed a Bill of Information filed by the CDC in a land dispute case involving the party headquarters, ruling the petition legally baseless.
The Court found that CDC, having paid $360,000 in rent to the Stubblefield Bernard Estate, had affirmed a landlord-tenant relationship and could not challenge the landlord’s title.
Additionally, the Bill failed to meet legal criteria for such filings. As a sanction for the improper filing, the Court fined CDC’s lawyers, Cllrs. A. Ndubusi Nwabudike, Thomson M. Jargba, and James N. Kumeh $500 each.
According to Dempster, the property belongs to his parents, and they lived on that compound up to the death of his grandmother and his mother and giving ownership.
He further discloses that the land where the CDC headquarters is situated is about 17 lots.
Since the Supreme Court on May 28 dismissed the Bill of Information filed by the CDC in a land dispute case involving the party headquarters, ruling the petition legally baseless, the Executive Committee of the CDC and its chairman are yet to officially response to the Supreme Court ruling relating their eviction or to pay for the property that they have invested on with structures.
