The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced a December 2025 deadline to confiscate a property allegedly connected to Natasha Beckley, if it remains unclaimed by then.
According to the Acting Director of Drug Prevention, Education, and Training, Ibrahim Samuel Dugba, the decision follows ongoing investigations into the property, which was reportedly found to contain illegal substances during a recent nationwide anti-drug operation.
Mr. Dugba revealed that the agency is providing a grace period until the end of December 2025 for the property to be legally claimed. Failing that, the state will proceed with formal confiscation as part of its broader campaign to curb drug-related crimes across the country.
“The NDLEA remains committed to enforcing the law and ensuring that properties tied to illicit activities are reclaimed by the state,” Dugba stated. “This case serves as a reminder that the agency will not relent in its efforts to dismantle drug networks and safeguard communities.”
The Sierra Leone Police in October issued a public “WANTED” notice for popular entertainer, Natasha Beckley on charges of unlawful possession of narcotic drugs and related offenses.
Authorities reported raiding the property at No. 8 Campbell Lane, Fourah Bay Road on June 13, 2025, where they discovered materials allegedly used in drug processing, including shredded leaves, acetone containers, gas masks, and weighing scales.
Police also said the Freetown City Council (FCC) was contacted to verify ownership of the building believed to be owned by Natasha Beckley. A claim, which the Mayor of Freetown has denied.
The property, currently under NDLEA custody, is among several assets identified in the ongoing national crackdown on drug trafficking and abuse, which has intensified in recent months under government directives.
Authorities say the investigation remains open as efforts continue to trace ownership and determine the full extent of the property’s connection to illegal drug operations.
The NDLEA has urged members of the public to cooperate with law enforcement and report any suspicious drug-related activities in their communities, reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on narcotics across Sierra Leone.
