On August 28, 2025, President Boakai appointed Biago, a Deputy Commissioner of the Liberian National Police, as Officer-In-Charge. Analysts say his appointment represents a significant shift in the profile of LDEA leadership. The magnitude of the seizures has transformed the issue from an ordinary drug-enforcement matter into a national security question. His background gives him significant exposure to national security operations and strategic decision-making. That may ultimately become the defining test of the new LDEA leadership.
