As Liberia continues investigating its largest-ever cocaine seizure valued at US$317 million, conflicting public statements about a 2021 trip to Spain have added a new layer of controversy. Contradictory accounts from key figures, including President Joseph Boakai’s son, Joseph Boakai Jr. (JoJo), and businessman Ibrahima Touré, are fueling public demands for an independent, transparent investigation into whether any connections exist between those involved and the ongoing drug probe.

Joseph Boakai Jr. has publicly denied allegations linking him to narcotics trafficking, saying he has never participated in illegal drug activities and is ready to cooperate fully with any investigation. In a detailed statement, the President’s son explained his relationship with individuals mentioned in the controversy, defended his distance from government affairs, and called for evidence, not speculation, to guide the pursuit of justice.
