In a shocking turn of events, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has suspended three high-ranking officers of the Liberian Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) without pay. The suspension comes after the emergence of leaked audiovisual evidence that allegedly implicates the officials in serious infractions related to drug enforcement and corruption.
The Suspended Officers
- Mr. Abraham S. Kromah (Director General):
- Mr. Kromah, who held the position of Director General, has been at the helm of the LDEA. His suspension has sent shockwaves through the agency and the wider law enforcement community.
- The leaked audiovisual material reportedly captures conversations involving Mr. Kromah discussing illicit activities and questionable dealings.
- Mr. Gbawou Kowou (Deputy Director General for Administration):
- As the Deputy Director General for Administration, Mr. Kowou played a crucial role in managing the agency’s internal affairs.
- The evidence allegedly implicates him in irregular financial transactions and conflicts of interest.
- Mr. Hassan Fadiga (Deputy Director General for Operations):
- Mr. Fadiga oversaw the operational aspects of the LDEA, including drug raids, investigations, and inter-agency coordination.
- The leaked material suggests that he may have compromised the agency’s integrity.
The Incriminating Audiovisual Material
The leaked audiovisual content reportedly includes conversations, video footage, and other forms of evidence. While the specifics have not been fully disclosed, sources close to the investigation indicate that the material reveals:
- Discussions about drug trafficking networks.
- Allegations of bribery and collusion with drug cartels.
- Financial improprieties within the agency.
The Victim of Drug Addiction
Amidst the scandal, a poignant side attraction emerges: a young man visibly suffering from drug addiction. The juxtaposition of his struggle with the alleged misconduct of high-ranking officials underscores the urgency of addressing drug-related issues in Liberia.
The Letter to the Justice Minister
Before their suspension, an anonymous whistleblower submitted a letter to the Justice Minister. The letter reportedly accuses Colonel Kromah of actively collaborating with drug cartels, directly contradicting his sworn oath to uphold the law and protect the citizens of Liberia.
Government Investigation Underway
As the government carries out its investigation, citizens eagerly await further updates. The suspension of these top LDEA officials sends a strong message that no one is above the law, and that accountability will prevail.
