The drugs suspects include (6) females and nine (9) males. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at the LNP Headquarters on Capitol Hill, Police Spokesman George Bardue revealed that eleven (11) of the suspects were arrested during a raid on several ghettos at different locations in Monrovia and its environs.
Mr. Bardue named the suspects as James Fallah, Jallah Lamie, Eric Joseph, Harris Mulbah, Veronica James, Bendu Brown, Ruth Gibson, Sayiah Tamba, Lessa Woods, Sam Weah, and Emmanuel Robertson. Others include Bongo Dread, Oldman Moses, Doe Dee, and Musu Kelly. During police investigation, Mr. Bardue said it was established that one of the suspects usually boils marijuana as tea for sale; something he indicated that the suspect admitted.
