Saclepea, Nimba County, Liberia – August 8, 2024: In a shocking development, the Liberia National Police (LNP) in Nimba County have arrested a 19-year-old woman, Lisa Mark, for kidnapping a 3-month-old baby. The arrest took place in Saclepea on the morning of August 8, 2024, marking the culmination of a disturbing case that began in Montserrado County late last month.
According to police reports, Lisa Mark admitted to abducting the infant on July 26, 2024, from Brewerville, Montserrado County. Lisa, a resident of Toweh Town in Nimba County, confessed that her actions were driven by a desperate desire to impress her father-in-law, who had recently traveled from the United States to meet his grandchild.
Lisa told police investigators at the Saclepea Detachment that she stole the baby from Zenna Kamara, a mother of twins, with whom she had been living in Brewerville. Kamara, unaware of Lisa’s intentions, likely assumed her children were safe in the presence of someone she trusted.
The kidnapping has sent shockwaves through the local community, with many expressing disbelief at the young woman’s actions. The incident underscores the lengths to which some individuals may go to fulfill personal desires, even at the expense of others’ well-being.
The police are continuing their investigation into the matter, while the stolen child is reported to be in safe hands, awaiting reunion with the rightful mother. The authorities have yet to release further details regarding the case or any potential charges Lisa Mark may face.
The Liberia National Police have commended the Saclepea Detachment for their swift action in apprehending the suspect and ensuring the safety of the infant. They also emphasized the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement to prevent such incidents.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by young children and the importance of safeguarding them from potential threats, even from those within their immediate circle.
Further developments in this case are expected as the investigation progresses. The police are urging anyone with additional information related to the incident to come forward.
