Over the weekend, the pages of social media and other local media platforms were full of a letter purportedly reported to be that of the resignation letter of the acting head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), DCP Fitzgerald T. M. Biago, a claim that the LDEA has denied.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monrovia, Liberia -June 19, 2026
The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) unequivocally rejects and condemns the false, malicious, and reckless reports circulating on social media alleging that DCP Fitzgerald T. M. Biago, Officer-in-Charge of the LDEA, is contemplating resignation due to pressure arising from ongoing investigations.
This claim is entirely baseless and without merit. At no time has the Officer-in-Charge expressed, discussed, or entertained any intention to resign.
These reports are a calculated attempt to misinform the public, damage the reputation of the Agency, and divert attention from the critical work being undertaken to combat illicit drugs and organized crime. DCP Biago remains fully committed to the responsibilities entrusted to him by His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and continues to lead the Agency with firmness, integrity, and determination.
This statement is issued not to dignify falsehoods, but to correct the record and provide clarity to the Liberian people. The LDEA will not be intimidated, distracted, or influenced by misinformation campaigns, propaganda, or external pressure. We remain resolute in carrying out our mandate and enforcing the law without fear, favor, or compromise.
The LDEA urges the public to continue assisting in the fight against drug trafficking by reporting any suspicious activities through its hotlines;0777133333/0888133333
