The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) River Gee County Detachment has reported another major breakthrough in its ongoing fight against illicit drugs.
‎
‎On the morning of May 30, 2026, at approximately 9:00 AM, officers of the Killepo Detail conducted a full-scale inspection at the Killepo Kanweaken checkpoint.
‎
‎ During the operation, they intercepted a commercial vehicle traveling from Ganta City to Gbeapo Kanweaken City.
‎
‎Upon thorough search, officers discovered 210 scripts of Tramadol pills carefully concealed inside a small sound box speaker onboard the vehicle. The pills, valued at US$9,180 or LRD 1,680,000, were immediately seized.
‎
‎The driver, identified as Kollie Myers, a 41-year-old Liberian male of the Grebo tribe, was arrested on the spot. Myers, who works as a driver and transporter, was taken to LDEA headquarters in Fish Town City for further investigation.
‎
‎Authorities revealed that the sound box was intended to be received by an individual known only as “John” in Gbeapo Kanweaken City.
‎
‎However, despite multiple attempts, investigators have been unable to apprehend this second suspect, as his contact number has remained switched off since the day of the arrest.Following the investigation, Myers has been formally charged and forwarded to the Gbeapo Kanweaken City Magisterial Court for prosecution.
‎
‎The LDEA River Gee County Commander Special Agent Bill M Wilson Jr and his officers reaffirmed their commitment to intensify inspections and operations across the county, stressing that drug trafficking poses a grave threat to community safety and youth development.
‎
‎Agent Wilson stressed that the arrest underscores the agency’s determination to dismantle networks of illegal drug distribution and protect Liberian communities from the devastating impact of narcotics.
