A post circulating on Facebook by WeBlog232 claims that Sierra Leonean rapper Alhaji Amadu Bah has been declared wanted by the police.
The post alleges that information from a source within the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) confirms that the artist is wanted in relation to an alleged case involving malicious damage and assault. It also claims that the musician is currently on the run while authorities are trying to locate him.
Because Alhaji Amadu Bah is one of Sierra Leone’s most popular hip-hop artists, the post quickly gained attention online and sparked discussion among social media users. The same post was made here.
However, given the potential reputational and legal implications of such claims, DUBAWA decided to verify the authenticity of the information.
Verification
DUBAWA contacted the Sierra Leone Police’s Media and Public Relations Department. In a WhatsApp response to DUBAWA’s inquiry, Brima Kamara, Assistant Commissioner of Police and Head of Media, popularly known as Media One, stated:
“I’m not aware of him being declared ‘Wanted’.”
This statement indicates that the police have not issued any official notice declaring the artist wanted.
DUBAWA also checked the official communication channels of the Sierra Leone Police, where the police normally publish the names and photographs of individuals declared wanted for public assistance in arrest.
However, the name of Alhaji Amadu Bah does not appear on the police wanted list. In Sierra Leone, when a person is officially declared wanted, the Sierra Leone Police typically releases a formal notice requesting the public’s assistance in locating the suspect. No such notice has been issued regarding the musician.
Conclusion
The claim that Sierra Leonean hip-hop artist Alhaji Amadu Bah has been declared wanted by the Sierra Leone Police is false.
The Head of Media for the police, ACP Brima Kamara, told DUBAWA that he is not aware of any such declaration, and the artist’s name is not listed on the official police wanted platforms.
Members of the public are advised to rely on official police communications and credible news sources before sharing sensitive claims about individuals online.
