Sierra Leonean rapper and politician Natasha Beckley has publicly appealed to the First Lady, Dr. Fatima Bio, and women leaders across the country to intervene in what she describes as a deeply distressing situation after being declared wanted by the Sierra Leone Police.

In an emotional statement shared on her social media pages, Beckley said she learned about the police warrant through online reports, expressing shock and fear over the development. She revealed that despite being declared wanted, she was never officially invited or contacted by the police before the news went public.

“Good afternoon to my friends, supporters, and fans. I am writing with a heavy heart to see how the public can help me tag the First Lady of Sierra Leone,” she wrote. “Dr. Fatima Bio, I am a woman in the opposition but a passionate woman about promoting and developing Sierra Leone. I know your love for truth, love, peace, and justice. Today, I seek your help.”

Beckley explained that she discovered she had been wanted since June 2025, yet during that period, she made several public appearances, including media interviews, performances, and official visits to police stations for fingerprinting and police clearance.

“I found out online the same day as my followers,” she said. “I have been publicly doing media interviews, performed at Chapter One, and even visited CID in August and Port Loko Police Station in October nothing about being wanted ever came up.”

Addressing allegations linking her to drug production in Freetown, Beckley firmly denied owning any property in the capital city.

“I own property only in Port Loko if you check with the Ministry of Lands. I have never bought property in Freetown, yet I am hearing that I am a homeowner in Freetown producing drugs,” she clarified.

Expressing fear for her safety, Beckley stated that her concern is not based on guilt but on perceived attempts to “teach her a lesson” for being outspoken and ambitious as a woman in opposition politics.

“I am scared, not because I am wrongfully accused, but because I know those who make decisions just want to detain me to teach me a lesson, to remind me that I am a nobody,” she lamented. “They know I don’t sell or do drugs. My friends in entertainment and the youth I influence can testify to that.”

The former beauty queen emphasized her passion for inspiring young girls to pursue their dreams despite societal barriers, adding that the incident has shaken her resolve but not her hope.

“How do we lead without showing other young girls that they can be anything they want to be? I am not perfect, but I am a dreamer. I know that if I lead, others will dare to dream,” she wrote.

Beckley concluded her statement by confirming that her legal team has contacted the Sierra Leone Police and that she is ready to present herself for questioning.

“My lawyers have contacted the police, and we will be at the station for questions date and time to be arranged. I ask for mercy and call on the nation to help me reach out to the lawmakers,” she said.

The Sierra Leone Police, through Assistant Inspector General Brima Kamara, had earlier confirmed that a warrant of arrest was issued for Beckley, adding that the case will proceed through normal judicial processes.
