Kakata, Margibi County, Liberia: Patience Paye, a resident of Johnsonville, Montserrado County, who attempted to sell her boyfriend’s 7-year-old son Jacob Kamara, has justified her action, noting that her decision was prompted by how the child’s father treated her in their relationship she hugely invested in.
In an interview with a local radio station (Classic FM) in Kakata, Margibi County, Patience Paye told journalists that Jacob’s father reportedly lavished over US 10 thousand dollars she gave him to do business, while they were in a very serious relationship that went for about two years.
According to her, Jacob’s father Morris Kamara, who is a power saw operator, promised to marry her after she fell deeply in love with him, something that gave her reasons to invest over $USD10,000 (Ten-thousand United States dollars ) in a joint plank business with him in Grand Cape Mount County.
Unfortunately, she said the business broke down to zero, as they couldn’t even generate the amount they invested in it.
She further noted that after the business collapsed, she was informed by Morris (the child’s father), that he wasn’t interested in the relationship anymore.
Upon being informed about his lack of interest in the relationship, Patience said she was left with no other option but to sell his son, in order to ease her heartbreak and replace the money she lost.
It can be referenced that Police in Kakata, Margibi County, kick-started an investigation in the case of 29-year-old Patience Paye for kidnapping after she attempted to sell her stepson for 15 thousand United States Dollars in Kakata.
As the news broke on the internet, Patience was backlashed and condemned for her actions, as many believe it’s unjustifiable.
