The Nimba County detachment of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) over the week seized about 2,000 grams of illegal drugs in Ganta from two Nigerian nationals with the street value of about L$50,000. LDEA identified the illegal drugs as Codeine (an opiate). The LDEA said officers are still searching for Sam Eze, while Chidi Obi is being investigated. Officers meanwhile quoted Chidi Obi as saying that the bag in question does not belong to him. The accused, Paul Omeny Ikegbunam, was charged with unlawful possession of narcotic drugs and sent to the Sanniquellie Magisterial Court.
