In March 2021, a chimpanzee in the Saclepea region in Nimba raped a four year-old girl after the little girl was reportedly left alone in a village.
However, the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) dispatched an investigative team to the community where the incident took place but there was no concrete outcome.
The FDA is the government of Liberia arm responsible for forest related issues.
The team comprises staff of FDA on the ground and officers of the Liberian National Police Women and Children Protection Unit.
FDA said the team was charged with the responsibility to conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter and establish the possibility of a chimpanzee having sex with human being.
