By: Anthony Dahn

Authorities in Nimba County are investigating a deeply troubling incident involving a four-year-old child in Camp-4 Town.

According to preliminary reports, an 18-year-old resident, identified as Abraham Bundeh, has been accused in connection with an alleged sexual assault and attempted killing that reportedly occurred on Wednesday afternoon, February 25, 2026, around 4:00 p.m.

Family members told police that the child was reported missing shortly after her father returned home from work and could not find her. A search was immediately launched within the community. The young girl was later discovered inside an unfinished structure in the central area of Camp-4, suffering from serious injuries.

She was first taken to a local clinic for emergency attention before being transferred to a hospital in Yekepa, and subsequently to the John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Monrovia, where she is currently receiving specialized medical care.

Meanwhile, the accused was initially detained at the Camp-4 police depot and later transferred to the Sanniquellie Police Headquarters for further investigation. Authorities say the matter remains under active investigation, and they have assured the public that due process will be followed.

Police say updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
