Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberian border security has confiscated dozens of gallons of gas being smuggled by black marketers into neighboring Guinea.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Liberian Immigration Service border patrol unit assigned in Nimba County has arrested over sixty gallons of gasoline from various by-pass routes leading into neighboring Guinea.<\/p>\n

The gas was arrested near the Ganta Main Border adjacent to the St. John River while being smuggled to Guinea.<\/p>\n

Border Patrol Commanders Amos Smith and Williams Paye Borbor arrested the gas from various motorcyclists, who Guineans allegedly contacted to transport the commodity into Guinea.<\/p>\n

The NEW DAWN gathered that over five drums of gas leave Ganta for Guinea daily, which has created shortage in the county.<\/p>\n

Besides, trucks loaded with rice leave the Ganta Main Border daily for Guinea for sale by business people.<\/p>\n

Recently, truckloads of rice were clandestinely taken out of the Freeport of Monrovia in a cartel presided over by port security officers. The Management of the National Port Authority has investigated and suspended several guards at the port.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, Joint Security officers assigned at the Ganta Main Border were engaged in a scuffle over bribes offered by Guinean traders to enable them to cross the border from Liberia with their goods.<\/p>\n

Report says most business owners in Ganta are involved in transporting rice and gas into Guinea for sale.<\/p>\n

Some of the Guineans told our correspondent that Liberian commerce inspectors and border security levied huge taxes on goods leaving the country.<\/p>\n

The NEW DAWN gathered that a gallon of gas is now being sold in Ganta for one thousand Liberian Dollars.<\/p>\n
