The agency has forwarded the case to the Roberts International Airport Magisterial Court for prosecution.
Kosso, 39, was arrested on July 12, 2025, after arriving in Liberia on Kenya Airways Flight KQ887 from Bangkok, Thailand. She was apprehended at the Roberts International Airport (RIA) at around 6:00 PM, after LDEA officers discovered 3.355 kilograms of cocaine concealed in her possession.
According to a press release issued by the LDEA on Monday, July 20, Kosso has been formally charged under multiple provisions of Liberia’s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. These include Section 14.83 for trafficking and importation, Section 14.85 for sales, distribution, administration, delivery and transportation, Section 14.89 for possession, and Section 10.2 for criminal conspiracy.
The LDEA noted that the charges brought against Kosso are non-bailable under the country’s revised drug laws, which reflect the gravity of the offenses. The agency described the seizure as part of its broader effort to disrupt drug trafficking networks and safeguard public health and security.
In the release, the LDEA reiterated its commitment to intensifying operations against narcotics trade and urged the public to allow the judicial process to take its course. The agency also encouraged citizens to report drug-related activities by calling its confidential hotline at 0777-133-333.
The LDEA further stated that investigations into other drug-related cases, including that involving a suspect identified as Tony Obi, are still ongoing.
