HARBEL, Liberia- The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) headquarters in Monrovia has formally charged and forwarded suspect Quita Dolo Kosso to the RIA Magisterial Court, following her arrest for allegedly trafficking narcotic drugs into Liberia.
Nearly four kilograms of Cocaine was said to have been discovered in a luggage she arrived with at the Roberts International Airport outside the Liberian capital from Thailand.
On July 12, 2025, Mrs. Kosso, a 39-year-old Liberian national, was arrested upon arrival at Roberts International Airport (RIA) from Bangkok, Thailand, via Kenya Airways Flight #KQ887 at approximately 6:00 PM. LDEA officers discovered 3.355 kilograms of cocaine, with an estimated street value of USD $181,008.
While in custody, the suspect fell ill during preliminary investigation. On July 16, her lawyer Cllr. Lafayette Gould and Julius R. Addy submitted a formal request for medical attention.
The LDEA said it approved the request and Mrs. Kosso was treated at JFK Medical Center, with medical records now filed with the Agency.
Suspect Quita Dolo Kosso was charged today, July 21, 2025, and she was sent to court under the following provisions of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act of Liberia:
- Section 14.83 – Trafficking and Importation
- Section 14.85 – Sales, Distribution, Administration, Delivery, and Transportation
- Section 14.89 – Possession
- Section 10.2 – Criminal Conspiracy
These charges fall under non-bailable offenses as outlined in Liberia’s revised drug laws.
Meanwhile, the LDEA says it remains firm in its mission to dismantle drug trafficking networks and calls on the public to allow the judicial process to take its course in the ongoing cases involving both Quita D. Kosso and Tony Obi.
