Liberia’s Joint Security, led by the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), has intercepted a vehicle carrying illegal drugs worth over $77,000 in what authorities call one of the biggest drug busts this year.
The seizure, which occurred on March 18, 2025, followed a late-night intelligence tip-off about a black pickup truck traveling from Sierra Leone to Monrovia through Lofa County.
A search of the vehicle uncovered 772 plates of high-grade marijuana valued at $77,200 and eight boxes of Tramadol worth 160,000 Liberian dollars. The driver, Fayiah Lamie, has been arrested and is under investigation.
