Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency Terminates Two Action Agents Over Unlawful Ties to Drug Suspects, Citing Interference in Active Cases and Breach of Professional Standards
Monrovia- Liberia – The Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has terminated the volunteer services of two Action Agents, Musa Kamara and Icarus Geeplay, effective immediately, following an internal investigation that found both men were “directly and unlawfully associated with drug suspects.”
In a statement released Tuesday , the Agency said Kamara and Geeplay have been disqualified and removed from the ongoing vetting process for the next batch of Volunteer Agents.
Their eligibility for admission into the LDEA “is hereby permanently revoked and terminated,” the statement read.
According to the LDEA, a “conclusive internal investigation” established that the two individuals engaged in “serious professional misconduct,” including interference in active drug-related cases, unauthorized communication and dealings with suspects, and “deliberate actions that compromised ongoing operations and undermined the integrity and mandate of the Agency.
The LDEA described the conduct as a grave violation of LDEA professional standards and wholly unacceptable,” reiterating its “zero-tolerance policy toward any form of compromise, collusion, or behavior that threatens the enforcement of the law.
The Agency cautioned the public to desist from engaging, dealing with, or recognizing these individuals in any capacity as representatives of the LDEA.
