Monrovia, Liberia: Former Liberian Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor is undergoing questioning by investigators of the Liberia National Police (LNP) and the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) in connection with the country's largest-ever drug bust.
Taylor was intercepted by police early Wednesday and escorted to LNP Headquarters, where she currently faces questioning over the US$336.8 million cocaine case.
Police authorities are yet to disclose what led to the former Vice President being held in custody as a person of interest and investigated.
She becomes the first major opposition figure to be linked to the matter as the government of Liberia strikes to uncover perpetrators behind the country's largest-ever drug bust.
Details surrounding this development are still developing.
