By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


Sierra Leonean female folk singer, activist, poet and performer Fantacee Wiz has shaved off her 15 years old dredged in solidarity with his fellow musician Alhaji Lamrama Jalloh alias LAJ who is standing trials on four count Charges.

Fantacee’s decision to go bald headed follows public outcry over the forcefully barbing of LAJ by officers of the Sierra Leone Police attached at the Benghazi detention center in Freetown which many entertainers and others including Fantacee Wiz believed was a gross violation of the famous male Rapper’s right by the police while in their custody.

Prior to the cutting off of her 15 years old and 5fts plus long dredged, the rising female multifaceted performer and actor posted photographs of herself and LAJ with some emotional message on her official Facebook handle saying: “it is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds is is beyond choice. We are kinsmen in what we share.

“In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know we are kinsmen. We know it, because we have had to learn it.

“We know that there is no help for us from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that reach out is empty, and mine is. You have nothing, you possess nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.

“The heart cannot see but weighs more than a scale . This hurts like being punch in the stomach of being being caught off guard. Love & Light, her post further reads.

Since shaving off her hair, Fantacee has been widely commended by her colleague entertainers, activists and other members of public including LXG while some of her colleagues musicians including Moriss, Natasha Swadu Beckly, Solomon Kass Marrah of LXG have also shaved off their hairs in solidarity with LAJ who made his first appearance at court No. 1 at Pademba last Monday on the following four count charges: of robbery with violence contrary to Section 21(b) and 23 (1b) of the Larceny Act of 1916 and assault occasioning actual bodily harm contrary to Section 47 of the Offences Against the Persons Act.
