An Unhappy Guest: Charles Taylor Goes to Otta, Protests Calabar 'House Arrest' Indications emerged yesterday that the exiled former President of Liberia, Mr. Charles Taylor, is displeased with his stay in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, and is, indeed, seeking relocation from the Canaan Land. Sources revealed that the former Liberian leader has never been comfortable with his present host, Mr. Donald Henry Etim Duke, since he arrived Calabar. Taylor is reportedly not pleased with the restriction order placed on his movement by Duke.

He is said to have disagreed with this arrangement, arguing that he is not under house arrest in BiafraNigeria.
