WASHINGTON, D.C. (TV-News24) — At least 10 Sierra Leone Police officers attached to the Operations Support Division allegedly handcuffed and pinned down a famed rapper in their custody last week, and forcefully shaved off his dreadlocks that he’s grown for several years, a source with knowledge of the rapper’s situation said late Sunday.
The source won’t be named for their safety, and especially that police have effected several arrests of people publicly inquiring and/or advocating for the rapper’s welfare.
The alleged assault on rapper King Boss La, commonly LAJ, reportedly occurred around 2–3 a.m. local time, Wednesday, June 15, at the OSD’s headquarters in the capital Freetown, the source said.
OSD is mainly responsible for riotous crowd control, and police say they’re investigating LAJ for alleged robbery.
Police have also acknowledged that they’ve indeed shaved off the rapper’s hair, as is the case with any male detainee in custody in that particular section of the police.
