MONROVIA, January 23 (LINA) - The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has condemned the rape of 12-year-old Ma Musu Fofana, a resident of Brewerville, who later died as a result of the act.

The ministry termed such action by the perpetrator as “wicked, inhuman, devilish and enemy to the security of women and children of Liberia.”
 
“While we are building defenses to stop the spread against the EVD and developing mechanism on how to keep the children of Liberia protected from such harmful virus, the ministry frowns on the act of some unscrupulous individuals which has resulted to such devilish act,” the ministry said in a statement Friday.
 
It said: “These cases should not be treated lightly as one situation could have a trickle-down effect on gains the ministry and its partners have strived to accomplish over the years.”
 
The ministry said it regrets the death of 12-year-old Ma Musu Fofana, the rape victim, and extends condolences to the bereaved family.
