Nimba County – Police in Ganta, Nimba County have arrested two suspects in connection with the theft that occurred at the Ministry of Youth and Sport/Ganta Youth Center in Nimba County.
According to police, of the two suspects one is an alleged criminal while the other is a private security officer that was assigned at the facility.
Suspect Tonny Samolu, age 19, is neither an employee of the Ministry of Youth and Sport nor the Ganta Youth Center.
Reports say 10 pieces of solar plates were stolen from the center but five have been recovered by the Liberia National Police.
Suspect Tonny Samolu and private security guard, Suspect Mark Flomo, are undergoing police investigation into the alleged burglary at the youth center.
In May 2017, seven computers that were intended for the Grand Gedeh Youths Center were stolen from the Youths Center in Ganta.
The Ganta Youth Center was built through the Ministry of Youth and Sport with funds from the German Government.
UNICO built the Youth Center and turned it over to the government of Liberia.
The Youth Center was intended to be used by young people in the city of Ganta and other parts of the County.
The Solar panels were used to provide electricity for the center, but the center continues to experience burglary.
Prior to the burglary the center was providing current for the Small Ganta Community, Pearson Community and the Christian Community, but due to the continued power theft at the Youth Center the center now only supplies one community out of the three; the Small Ganta Community.
The Youth Center also supplies the Ganta Court and others places.
