MONROVIA – the Liberia Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention, Inc. has discredited media reports alleging that one of its auxiliaries – Liberia Baptist Missionary Educational (LBMEC) – is claiming ownership of the four lots of land on which President George Weah’s Jamaica Resort is situated.
Jamaica Resort, located in Thinkers Village, is private property belonging to President Weah which he often used for his personal recreation and sometimes hosts cabinet meetings. He owned the property several years before becoming President of Liberia. However, President Weah has been accused of acquiring several properties since becoming President.
