Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA) Officer-In-Charge (O-I-C) said despite the numerous challenges in the fray to eradicate illicit drugs in its entirety, the Agency continues to fight the menace head-o.
Fitzgerald T.M. Biago said, the Agency effort in combating substance, and drugs abused in every corner worth commendation owing to the fact that the agents are relentless to make the country drug-free.
Biago said he noticed that 90 percent of the importers of drugs are chiefly men, while women constitute 10 percent, “because women are the ones that narcotic substances are given for the purpose of commercialization.”
He made the disclosure on Tuesday, when he appeared on Ok FM in Monrovia.
Biago disclosed the saddened aspect of the fight as the women, who are “selling the drugs are over the ages of 65 and 70 with no remorse of conscience considering their ages.”
Biago: “These women should be able to serve as a role model to their children and posterity; instead, they are infesting the various communities in the country with these deadly substances at the detriment of the young generation.”
He said, in its quest to battle illicit drugs, substance abused will “leave nothing unturned” to weed out harmful substances that continues to permeate the social fabric, thus creating a kind of bleak future for the younger ones.
Biago said, the Agency will galvanize the necessary resources and put into place mechanisms that will adequately curb the menace
