The leadership at the the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), has with immediate effect, terminated the services of two of its Action Agents (AAs).
“LDEA hereby informs the general public that, effective immediately, it has terminated the volunteer services of two AAs.”
The two affected AAs are being identified as Musa Kamara and Icarus Geeplay.
According to a release, the pair are therefore, “disqualified and removed from the ongoing vetting process for the next batch of Volunteer Agents.”
The action to terminate their services came as the result of a conclusive internal investigation, which established that both individuals were “directly and unlawfully associated with drug suspects.”
“The investigation further revealed acts of 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.”
Such conduct, LDEA said, constitutes a grave violation of the Agency’s professional standards, and is wholly unacceptable.
The Agency said, it maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward any form of compromise, collusion, or behavior that threatens the enforcement of the law.
Accordingly, the two AAs eligibility, ambition, and consideration for admission into the LDEA through the current vetting process are “hereby permanently revoked and terminated.”
The general public is strongly cautioned to desist from engaging, dealing with, or recognizing these individuals in any capacity as representatives of the LDEA.
The Agency said, it remains resolutely committed to discipline, integrity, accountability, and the uncompromising enforcement of the law in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse.
