The Gambia’s Drug Law Enforcement Agency (DLEAG) has apprehended Ebrima Makalo, who was allegedly found in possession of 131 pellets of cocaine. According to DLEAG, Makalo is a Gambian national with a Spanish residency card.
“In a coordinated intelligence-led operation, Ebrima was monitored through the departure procedure, which he successfully completed without detection. He was stopped at the boarding gate. Search resulted in the discovery of the drugs. He concealed the drugs in his boxers. He was traveling with Vueling Airlines to Barcelona,” DLEAG said.
The DLEAG is the principal agency charged with combating drug trafficking in the Gambia.
