EPS Boss Admits Authoring Viral Cocaine Burn Post
Sam Gaye Confirms Controversial Social Media Message Amid Public Debate Over 4.2-Ton Cocaine Seizure
MONROVIA – Executive Protection Service (EPS) Director Sam Gaye has confirmed that a controversial social media post declaring plans to burn 4.2 tons of seized cocaine was authored by him, ending days of speculation over the identity of the account holder.
The post, which quickly went viral across multiple social media platforms, read:
“We will burn their 4.2 tons of cocaine this week. And we will videotape it and send it to them in Colombia. Bring it on if you’re vexed. Get in your boat or plane and come meet us at the burn site.”
Speaking to this news outlet, Gaye acknowledged that he personally made the post, confirming its authenticity.
His confirmation comes amid heightened public attention surrounding Liberia’s reported seizure of approximately 4.2 tons of cocaine one of the country’s largest anti-drug operations in recent history.
The statement has generated mixed reactions, with some Liberians praising the government’s tough rhetoric against international drug traffickers, while others questioned whether such public comments by a senior security official were appropriate given the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation.
The controversy has also been fueled by a circulating video in which two unidentified individuals allegedly discussed Liberia in relation to the reported cocaine seizure, prompting widespread speculation on social media about possible international links to the narcotics shipment.
Authorities have yet to indicate whether the individuals featured in the video are connected to the case or whether the video forms part of the official investigation.
As investigations continue, the government maintains that all legal procedures regarding the seizure, forensic examination, and eventual destruction of the narcotics will be conducted in accordance with Liberian law and international standards.
The reported seizure has intensified scrutiny of Liberia’s anti-drug enforcement efforts and renewed public calls for authorities to identify and prosecute all individuals connected to the massive cocaine shipment.
