YARPAH TOWN, River Cess – The Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA) detachment in River Cess County has arrested a 36-year-old woman for alleged possession of a significant quantity of the narcotic drug Tramadol.
The suspect, identified as Naomi Dixson, was apprehended on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, with 30 stripes of Tramadol, commonly referred to as “Trauma King.” Authorities estimate the value of the drugs at L$90,000.
According to the LDEA, Dixson was taken into custody in Rivercess and is currently being held at the Yarpah Town Police Station pending further investigation.
Details released by the agency indicate that Dixson, a Liberian national of Bassa ethnicity, was born on January 11, 1989, in Rivercess County.
