-Deputy Minister Sando

Government’s Deputy Spokesman, Daniel Sando, has accused members of the opposition of undermining ongoing investigation into the recent US$19 million drug seizure.

Speaking via telephone on Okay FM, Sando stated that while the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) and other security institutions are actively investigating the drug consignment, opposition figures are spreading false information and misleading photographs on social media, an alleged act he says interferes with the process.

He noted that the LDEA has not released any photographs or passport details of the six persons of interest connected to the case.

According to Sando, releasing the names and images of the individuals under investigation at this stage could compromise the credibility of the investigation.

He further warned that the alleged perpetrators could use such information to destroy evidence or obstruct the ongoing probe.
