Liberian President Joseph Boakai has sacked a dozen government officials and referred several others for investigation after a series of major drug seizures prompted public calls for tougher action.
A statement released late on Thursday said the dismissals included airport operations staff and senior law enforcement supervisors.
Earlier this month, Liberian authorities seized nearly four tonnes of cocaine worth an estimated $317 million (€277 million) near Roberts International Airport.
