1- Monrovia – The Liberia National Police has arrested, charged and sent
to court a 29-years old Sierra Leonean national, Mr. Mohammed Jalloh
Massaquoi for allegedly attempting to sell his son age 10.
2- Speaking to investigators of the LNP and the Anti-Human Trafficking
Taskforce of Liberia in the new established Trafficking In-Persons Unit at
the Headquarters of the LNP, Mr. Massaquoi said he came to Liberia along
with his son to have him sold to enable him pay for a motorbike belonging
to a friend that got stolen from him.
3- Mr. Massaquoi who put the cost of the motorbike at 11 million Leones,
said he has paid an amount of One Million Leones (1M) with the balance
of Ten million to be paid. He said that he was informed by some friends in
his home Country that in Liberia there were people looking for human
beings to buy.
4- He maintained that upon hearing that, he immediately embarked on a
travel to Liberia to sell the little boy to generate the balance Ten Million
Leones to enable him pay for the motorcycle.
5- Massaquoi added that upon his arrival in Liberia with his son on
December 16, 2021, they went to a relative in Cotton-Tree, Margibi County
where he met one Mr. Momo Kamara who promised to help him find a
buyer for his son.
6- He said that Momo Kamara advised him not to refer to the boy as
human being, but rather as chicken. When asked as to what is the cost of
the child by Mr. Kamara, Massaquoi said that he is not familiar with the
Liberian Dollars to United States Dollars exchange rate and therefore he
could not price the boy. He said that he asked Mr. Kamara to spearhead the
negotiation that will be profitable to the both of them.
7- Mr. Massaquoi was arrested on Thursday, December 30, 2021 when
he and Momo Kamara were awaiting the buyer at a drinking spot in Cotton
Tree by Officers of the Liberia National Police.
