Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has condemned a well-known Sierra Leonean rapper’s outrageously insulting and obscene comments on Facebook about a radio station director.
It says online harassment of journalists in Sierra Leone must stop.
In a video posted on Facebook on 11 December, Alhaji Amadu Bah, a popular but controversial rapper also known as LAJ, referred to Radio Democracy director Asmaa James as a “bastard child” because of her station’s reporting about him, and he warned her that “the next time he sees her, he will piss on your face.”
Patrick Sallia picks up the story.
