River Gee — The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency detachment in River Gee County, southeast Liberia, seizes narcotics valued at US$4,000.

A Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) detachment in River Gee County confiscated substances valued at more than Four Thousand (US$4,000) United States Dollars.

The LDEA detachment also arrests 35-year-old Suspect Daniel Jallah for smuggling the drugs believed to be Kush.

Suspect Jallah was apprehended on July 8, 2024, at Webbo Checkpoint while en route from Pleebo City, Maryland, to River Gee.

LDEA County Commander Richard Nango explains that Suspect Daniel's arrest is a result of an intelligence tipoff that the suspect had boarded a motorbike taxi with huge unlawful drugs headed for River Gee County.

He was caught right-handedly at Webbo Checkpoint with the dangerous substances that damage lives and destroy future leaders.

Suspect Daniel told the LDEA that the drugs belonged to a businessman only identified as Emmanuel in Fishtown City, River Gee.

Meanwhile, as legal proceedings get underway, the LDEA Commander says the Agency is committed to pursuing justice and ensuring that individuals involved in trafficking, selling, or using unlawful drugs are held liable for their actions.

Commander Nango calls for adequate support, lamenting that the detachment lacks mobility, a serious impediment to its operation.
