MONROVIA – Al Hussein Fadiga, one of the two brothers at the center of a widely publicized libel case, has accused former Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) Director Abraham “AB” Kromah of threatening his life shortly after he was released from detention on Monday, June 22, 2025.
Fadiga, who had spent several hours at the Monrovia Central Prison earlier that day following a contempt of court charge, took to his official Facebook page to issue what he described as a “PUBLIC NOTICE.” In his post, he detailed a series of alleged threats and intimidation attempts made by Mr. Kromah, both during and after their encounter at the Civil Law Court.
“I feel compelled to inform the public that Mr. Abraham ‘AB’ Kromah has made several threats against my life, both privately and publicly,” Fadiga wrote. He claimed Kromah spent the day trying to influence the court to ensure he would be jailed and, when unsuccessful, turned aggressive. “He became visibly enraged and verbally assaulted me in the presence of court officials,” Fadiga added, stating that Kromah openly threatened that he would not survive in Monrovia.
According to Fadiga, court staff instructed him to remain indoors until Kromah had left the building. However, upon exiting the premises, he allegedly found Kromah waiting near his vehicle in a silver Mercedes. Fadiga claimed the former LDEA boss followed him to a nearby restaurant where he was scheduled to meet his lawyer, attempted to provoke a physical confrontation, and at one point “reached for his firearm.”
“This pattern of aggression and intimidation is unacceptable,” Fadiga wrote. “I trust that the justice system will take these matters seriously. My safety and the rule of law must not be compromised.”
The altercation comes just a day after Fadiga’s arrest by sheriffs from the Civil Law Court, acting on a court order stemming from a defamation judgment in favor of Kromah. The court found that Al Hussein Fadiga and his brother, Hassan Fadiga, had falsely accused Kromah of stealing US$200,000 during a drug bust, awarding the former drug czar US$1.5 million in general damages and US$100,000 in penalties for the brothers’ failure to appear in court.
The Fadiga brothers were sued for US$3 million on February 6, 2025, after allegedly launching a smear campaign against Kromah via social media and radio platforms. While Al Hussein was taken into custody, Hassan remains at large. Court documents allege that the Fadigas’ accusations damaged Kromah’s reputation and questioned his competence as a public official.
Authorities have not yet commented on Fadiga’s new allegations against Kromah, but the incident has added a new layer of controversy to an already explosive legal dispute that has captured national attention.
