Ganta, Nimba County — The Ganta Detachment of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has made a major breakthrough in its ongoing crackdown on illegal drug trafficking, arresting a vehicle carrying a significant quantity of narcotics in Nimba County.
According to the LDEA Nimba Detachment, a total of 299 packs of Taramaking 250mg, a controlled substance, were discovered concealed in a vehicle that was intercepted between Yekepa and Sanniquellie on October 26, 2025, at about 5:00 p.m. The car was reportedly en route to Monrovia when officers made the discovery.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver claimed ignorance of the drugs found in the vehicle. He told investigators that one of the packages discovered under the car seat was allegedly given to him by an unidentified man to transport. The driver further stated that the drugs were placed in the vehicle after he had already loaded his belongings and was preparing to depart.
However, during a thorough search conducted by LDEA officers, additional packs of the same drug were found hidden inside two of the driver’s bags. When questioned, the suspect claimed that those bags also belonged to an unidentified individual who had asked him to deliver them.
This revelation has raised further suspicions about the driver’s possible involvement in the trafficking of illicit drugs. Authorities have since intensified their investigation to uncover the network behind the operation and identify the individuals connected to the consignment.
Since Commander CO-mountain Buster jolon assumed leadership of the LDEA Nimba Detachment, the agency has stepped up efforts to clamp down on drug dealers and users across the county. The recent arrest marks another significant step in the agency’s determination to curb the rising tide of drug trafficking and abuse in Nimba.
The LDEA has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting communities from the dangers of narcotics and ensuring that those involved in the illegal drug trade face the full weight of the law.
