Katika hali isiyo ya kawaida Mahakama nchini humo imewaachia huru washukiwa hao kutoka Liberia, Ureno, Lebanon, na Guinea-Bissau baada ya kukamatwa na kontena lenye zaidi ya kilo 500 za Cocaine, zenye thamani ya takriban Tsh. Bilioni 236.4
Waziri wa Sheria nchini humo, Frank Musah Dean Jr. amelaani uamuzi huo, akisema umesababisha dhihaka ya kimataifa kwa Liberia huku akiahidi kuwakamata tena washukiwa hao ambao wametoroka tangu wakati huo
Watuhumiwa hao walikamatwa 2022 kwa usaidizi wa Marekani na Brazil katika tukio lililochukuliwa kama moja ya mafanikio makubwa ya nchi hiyo katika kupambana na wafanyabiashara wa Dawa Za Kulevya

The authorities in Liberia say they've lost all trace of four suspected drug dealers linked to a $100m (£80m) cocaine shipment, after a trial jury unexpectedly acquitted them.
Last year, with assistance from the US and Brazil, Liberian security officials seized a container with more than 500 kilos of cocaine inside.
Four men - from Liberia, Portugal, Lebanon and Guinea-Bissau - were arrested in what was seen at the time as one of Liberia's biggest successes against drug smugglers.
But last week a jury in the capital Monrovia found them not guilty.
The justice minister condemned the decision, saying it had brought international ridicule on Liberia. He vowed to re-arrest them but they have since fled.
Liberian authorities have launched a manhunt for the suspects.
