MONROVIA – The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has terminated the services of two volunteer Action Agents in Montserrado County following findings of misconduct, the agency announced on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
The dismissed individuals, identified as Francis Hodge and Darlington Flomo, were previously assigned to operational bases in New Kru Town and Duport Road respectively. According to the LDEA, both men have been removed from their roles with immediate effect and disqualified from the ongoing vetting process for the next intake of volunteers scheduled for training at the Police Academy.
The agency said the decision was based on the outcome of an internal investigation which established that the two individuals were involved in repeated harassment of civilians and engaged in behavior deemed unprofessional and contrary to the agency’s standards.
In its statement, the LDEA emphasized that it operates under a strict zero-tolerance policy toward misconduct, including acts of corruption, collusion, or any actions that undermine law enforcement efforts.
“As a result, their eligibility and consideration within the current vetting process have been permanently revoked,” the statement noted.
The agency further cautioned members of the public against interacting with or recognizing the dismissed individuals as representatives of the LDEA, stressing that they no longer hold any authority or affiliation with the institution.
The move underscores what the LDEA describes as its ongoing commitment to discipline, integrity, and accountability in its operations, particularly as it intensifies efforts to combat drug trafficking and abuse across the country.
Authorities are also urging citizens to remain vigilant and support the fight against illegal drugs by reporting suspicious activities through the agency’s hotline numbers.
The statement was issued by S/A G. Orlando Demey, Chief of the Public Relations Department of the LDEA.
