Liberia: National Security Agency Questions Liberia Airport Authority Over Complacency In Mystery Plane Saga

Sierra Leone authorities said the 14-seat plane did not have proper landing permits and did not originate from a recognized airport in Liberia.

Monrovia – FrontPageAfrica has learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) has reportedly called in the management of the Liberia Airport Authority for questioning over alleged complacency in the mysterious plane arrested in neighboring Sierra Leone last month.

The mysterious plane, which was said to have flown out of Liberia on September 20 and was heading to Mexico, landed in Freetown without the necessary permission and was found to be using a fake registration number, FrontPageAfrica gathered.

Sierra Leone authorities said the 14-seat plane did not have proper landing permits and did not originate from a recognized airport in Liberia.

According to the Sierra Leone government, the crew refused to produce their documents, but it was later confirmed that three members are Mexican nationals and one has a Spanish passport.

And weeks later, FrontPageAfrica gathered from reliable sources that the senior management of the Liberia Airport Authority (LAA) has been hired by the National Security Agency (NSA)

“The Joint Security of the Republic of Liberia descended on the LAA offices in Margibi County on Monday and held a closed-door meeting with LAA Director Jero H. MendsCole and his key deputies in an effort to establish facts about the plane that It is said to have made a stopover in Liberia before heading to Sierra Leone, where it was arrested for lack of proper landing permits and erased registration numbers,” our source hinted to FrontPageAfrica.

Our source also indicated that the mysterious private jet indeed made a stopover at the Roberts International Airport in Liberia before heading to Sierra Leone.

How the mysterious aircraft evaded detection and arrest by LAA authorities is at the heart of the investigation as the NSA has taken Mr Mendscole and his deputies for Operations Egon M. Kuiah for questioning, FrontPageAfrica gathered.

Suspicion about mysterious plane

The involvement of three Mexican nationals, a country widely known for its ties to global drug cartels, and the lack of transparency from authorities have only fueled speculation that this incident could be part of a larger, more sinister operation.

The LAA’s official statement on the incident sought to reassure the public that everything was under control. However, the details released to the public were vague and insufficient, leaving more questions than answers.

Initial investigations revealed that the plane had not departed from any officially recognized airport in Liberia and had not made contact with air traffic control in Sierra Leone before landing in Freetown.

Despite this blatant violation of international aviation protocols, authorities have downplayed the seriousness of the incident, claiming that a thorough search of the aircraft turned up no suspicious items. This claim, especially considering the plane’s destination – Mexico – has led the public to question the veracity of the investigation.

The involvement of three Mexican nationals immediately raises red flags, given Mexico’s notorious reputation as a drug trafficking center.

FrontPageAfrica discovered that the pilot, who initially claimed not to speak English, later admitted that he was paid $20,000 to fly the plane from Liberia to Mexico. This revelation should have caused immediate concern, but instead the LAA appeared to have swept the incident under the carpet.

This is not the first time Liberia has been embroiled in a drug trafficking controversy. The country’s strategic location on the West African coast makes it an attractive target for international drug cartels looking to smuggle narcotics across continents.
