On June 3, 2024, President Boakai suspended several officials of the Liberian Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), including Director General Mr. Abraham S. Kromah, Deputy Director General for Administration Mr. Gbawou Kowou, and Deputy Director General for Operations Mr. Hassan Fadiga.
The President made the decision to suspend his officials due to what he described as “acts of disorder and chaos” among the leadership responsible for combating illicit drugs. Additionally, the government ordered an investigation into the LDEA on the same day; however, the findings of this investigation have not yet been released.
Reports have revealed that President has dismissed all of the suspended officials to be replaced.
