BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!: Reports Suggest LDEA Boss May Have Resigned Amid US$19.2 Million Drug Investigation

Unconfirmed information emerging from our sources within the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) to (Base TV Media) indicates that the head of the agency DCP Fitzgerald T. M. Biago has resigned amid mounting pressure surrounding the ongoing US$19.2 million co***ne investigation, one of the largest drug busts in Liberia’s history.

Confirmation from the Government of Liberia or the LDEA was not immediately available as of press time. However, multiple sources familiar with the matter told KNews Online that the resignation comes as investigations continue to widen into the seizure of hundreds of kilograms of co***ne at Roberts International Airport (RIA).

The case has dominated national attention since authorities announced the interception of co***ne valued at approximately US$19.2 million that allegedly passed through several layers of airport security before being discovered. Investigators have since been examining how the shipment entered Liberia, who facilitated its movement, and who was ultimately responsible for the consignment. Follow The Fish

For almost three weeks now, and with the ongoing investigation that the government of Liberia is conducting in this US$ 19.2 million drug investigation today the government through the Ministry of Justice, has a suspect in the US$19 million drug bust case. However, identify 10 persons of interest, namely:

* Philip Yeoh, Security Manager of GLS Menzies at Roberts International Airport (RIA)

* Festus S. Musa, Cargo Handler for GLS Menzies

* Ruth Gbapaywhea, RIA Scanner Agent

* Archie Nyanfor, Cargo Handler for Express Handling Services

* Arthur B. Abdullai, Chief Executive Officer of Express Handling Services

* Geraldine Zeon, RIA Scanner Agent

* Mohammed Gbowrah, Security Director of Roberts International Airport

* Paul J. King, Chief Executive Officer of GLS Menzies

* Oscar Browne, Chief of Intelligence for RIA Security

* Emmanuel T. Zeon, Transporter for Express Handling Services

I believe these individuals, along with others whose names have been publicly discussed, should be thoroughly investigated in connection with the US$19 million drug bust case. In this light I am calling on all citizens, as well as international partners where appropriate, to ensure an independent, transparent, and credible investigation.The Following
