AB Kromah Senses Sinister Motive By Drug Cartel -Says He’s Being Framed by Cartel to Thwart His Reinstatement

When the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency chief, Abraham Kromah and his deputies were suspended a couple of months ago by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, speculations popped up that the president’s action leading particularly to the fall of this no-nonsense fighter of the country’s drug cartel would inadvertently embolden individuals and groups involved with drugs and drug-related trades. It seems the chicks have come home to roast because an ongoing prosecution of a drug case is being used to throw dirt on Kromah who is still serving a suspension sentence, and he believes all that is a scheme by the drug cartel to prevent his reinstatement so that they have a carte blanche. THE ANALYST reports.

The suspended Director of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Col. Abraham Kromah says a drug cartel operating in the country is mischaracterizing him to thwart his reinstatement as the director of the LDEA by President Joseph N. Boakai.

Led by Obi, otherwise referred to as Original Japan, the cartel has been using social media platforms including Spoon TV to spread lies and misinformation about Kromah, maligning his character, aimed at influencing the President from reinstating him.

Information in possession of the media opined: “It is rather repugnant that a known drug baron who has been arrested by the LDEA under Kromah command as Director has taken to the social media through paid agents that the Agency extorted more than US$300,000 and almost LD2 million from the indictee known to be called Obi.”

The suspended LDEA director was providing an update minutes after he had left the Criminal Court ‘C’ of his Honor, Judge A. Blamo Dixon where he was invited to testify in a drug case involving the alleged illicit drug business mogul.

Obi, a wealthy drug czar, is fighting to discredit the LDEA through lies, including alleging that the LDEA took over US$350,000 from him during an arrest. Col. Kromah describe the allegation “false and misleading”.

Col. Kromah noted that the allegations that his team took away from Obi the monies mentioned in their social media propaganda against him is a ploy to taint his character through lies and misinformation aimed at destroying his hard earned character.

He said Obi is noted for negatively impacting young people through drugs, and was arrested for drugs dealing, indicating that Obi had manufactured a facility at his residence which was producing various kinds of illicit drugs.

The drug mogul was apprehended by LDEA agents with huge consignment of drugs worth thousands in both United States dollars and Liberian dollars, and was indicted by the Government of Liberia, and could face a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty at the criminal Court ‘C’, according to Col. Kromah.

The reported drug tycoon, Director Kromah further revealed, has been using the social media including the Spoon and other platforms to pivot lies and misinformation that has to do with restitution of $300,000 dollars and almost two million Liberian dollars they claimed may have been snatched by Col. Kromah’s men during the arrest.

The drug czar Obi, Director Kromah said, is laying these claims with hope of aborting the reinstatement of Col. Kromah to the LDEA by the President.

“This is a ploy to undermine the prosecution’s submission regarding material facts in the case that could lead to possible culpability and eventual conviction of the accused, which may place him behind bars for some 15 years,” Col. Kromah indicated.

He clarified that the arrest was done in plain view of the media, court Sheriff and onlookers from the community who observed the process.

Col. Kromah further asserted that the lies and misinformation being told were intended to undermine the judicial process against the culprits’ arrested by the LDEA including Obi who were indicted and are being prosecuted and to be granted “unwarranted freedom.”

It can be recalled that Obi along with others were arrested in Monrovia by agents of the LDEA who were executing search and seizure operation along with the court sheriff.

From that time the social media has been permeated with what Col. Kromah referred to as “lies and misinformation” that the LDEA men took away huge some of monies from the premises of Obi, the main drug mogul.

Director Kromah said the prevailing untold fact is that Liberia is at the brink of failure in its fight against drugs as initiated by President Boakai, as the battle against drug cartels in the country is being undermined by the very cartels that are infusing enormous cash in order to thwart his reinstatement which compromises professionalism in law enforcement.
