Drug Enforcement Agency investigators in Liberia say they are
questioning the head of the presidential motorcade and three others for
allegedly using the convoy to smuggle more than 297kg of marijuana into Liberia
from neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Anthony Souh, director of the DEA office, named the motorcade
commander as Perry Dolo. He was arrested along with another Liberian official,
as well as a Guinean and a Sierra Leonean over the weekend after crossing from
Sierra Leone via the Bo-Waterside border.
He named the vehicle used as "Escort 1," the jeep that
normally leads the president's convoy.
Souh told The Associated Press that Dolo had taken the car on his
day off.
Marijuana smuggling has become a growing problem in Liberia.
