Contrary to initial reports that the 198 compressed plates of cocaine were scheduled to depart from Liberia on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Verity News investigation has established that the US$19.2 million worth of drugs were actually scheduled to depart on Friday, June 12, 2026 at 9:10pm via Brussels Airlines SN241. The full manifest along with status history of the drug transshipment is attached as our evidence.
Summary:
1) First Flight (Brussels Airlines (SN241):
Departure (Monrovia, RIA): June 12, 2026 at 21:10
Arrival (Transit: Brussels, Belgium): June 13, 2026 at 05:50
2) Second Flight (Brussel Airlines SN2103):
Departure from Brussels: June 13, 2026 at 21:30
Final Destination/Arrival (London Heathrow Airport): June 13, 2026 at 21:35
Here’s what happened (Rushed Boarding hit the alarm bell after intelligence tipoff)?
Verity News investigation has established that the US$19.2 million compressed plates of cocaine were/are facilitated by a well-organized cartel (criminal network of big hands and small hands). The cartel had received a tipoff that American and British intelligence agencies had already informed LDEA. So, instead of waiting for June 12, 2026 as the official departure date of the “cargoes” (drugs), they quickly coordinated to rush the boarding of the “cargoes” (drugs) ahead of schedule. It was late. Thanks to Liberian, American, and British intelligence agencies.
Look at the position of the six (6) rubber containers of drugs in the airport warehouse. All of them were/are NOT sealed, and they had/have YELLOW taps/coverings; very visible. But no one could discover that they were drugs even though they passed through multiple security checks and screenings before entering the airport warehouse. This is well organized and coordinated, and we assume that it has been routinely happening.
Verity News is supporting National Security agencies and international security agents to get at the bottom of this drug bust. Everyone linked to this transnational network of criminals must be EXPOSED. We will release more information and documents asap. Access to information is a right.
The future of too many Liberian youth is being destroyed due to substance abuse. The youth “zogoes” are being victimzed by the traffickers, the smugglers, and the merchants. The latter trio needs to be vigorously dismantled. Illicit substances (drugs) are destroying tens of thousands of Liberia’s future leaders every day. The cemeteries across Liberia have now become their home. Liberian families, including mothers and fathers who’ve invested so much in their kids, continue to grieve every day. This paper will fight for grieving parents who’ve lost or are losing their children to drugs.
