The Kolahun Magisterial Court headed by Judge Ambrose Kpehe has dismissed charge against a 30 year-old man identified as Momo Kanneh who was charged with Cruelty Against Animal by the Liberia National Police.
Defendant Kanneh was caught having sexual intercourse with a pregnant Sheep in an unfinished building on January 11,2020 in Massambolahun, Kolahun District Lofa County.
This followed a to ‘Nulle Prosequa’ motion filed by Lofa County Attorney Luther Sumo on ground that the sheep has no lawyer to prosecute the matter and he is a state prosecutor for human being and not animals besides; he opted that sheep itself testify in court but can understand when it is now a human being.
The Lofa County Attorney dropped against Defendant Kanneh in line Chapter 18, section 18.1 of the Criminal procedure law of Liberia.
Chapter 18, section 18.1 states Chapter 18.DISMISSAL OF PROSECUTION §18.1. Dismissal by prosecuting attorney.

The prosecution shall thereupon terminate to the extent indicated in the dismissal.
The County attorney also said the Defendant is not in his right state of mind or in another word, he is insane even though there was no medical report presented to tell the metal illness of the Defendant but he said from his observation the defendant is not well up head.
The charge was dismissed against defendant Kanneh without prejudice to the state this month.
Furthermore, the sheep has given birth to a baby.
What happen?
In January of 2020, a strange news broke out from Massambolahun, Lofa County linking a 30 year old and a former motorcyclist Momo Kanneh to sexual intercourse with a female pregnant sheep (cattle).
Defendant Kanneh when caught having sex with the sheep, admitted committing the act but said he was under the influence of drug and alcohol although this was not his first time.
He was therefore arrested by the community watch forum and later turned over to the police for further investigation.
The cattle according to report is being own by one Musu Kanneh a resident of the same address.
