Souh told reporters that the two men, Domatus Nwafor, and Emmanuel Eze Eskasha, are residents of the Duala Red Hill Field Community, a suburb of Monrovia. According to Souh, they had rented an apartment in the Duala Red Hill area under the guise of running a non-profit organization.

He expressed his confidence in the existing drug enforcement laws to deal with individuals illegally caught possessing narcotic substances. Souh added that the two suspects would shortly be sent to court for prosecution.
