Steady Bongo’s Elder Brother Recounts His Final Moments
Julius Mustapha Harding Steady Bongo, a legendary figure in Sierra Leonean music, tragically passed away following a motorcycle accident in Bo District. His elder brother, Coker Lasana, who had been his close companion for over two decades in the music industry, shared the heartbreaking details of his final moments.
According to Lasana, the duo had recently visited a village in Kenema District. On their return journey, they stopped at Nadajuwa Sowa in Bo District, where Steady Bongo expressed his need to rest due to extreme fatigue. He stayed at the home of one of his promoters, known as Commander. Later, he visited his ailing brother, T.K. Silaci, in Kotoru village.
In a gesture of support, Steady Bongo canceled a planned musical show for his brother, intending to wait until Silaci regained his health. After the visit, he decided to proceed to Lee village, where he was scheduled to perform later that day.
Tragedy struck as Steady Bongo traveled by motorcycle. The bike collided with a stationary car, leaving him and the rider critically injured. According to Lasana, no one was present at the accident scene to offer immediate assistance. It was only after a passerby alerted them that Steady Bongo was rushed to a nearby health center.
Efforts to transfer him to Bo Government Hospital by ambulance were initiated, but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries en route.
Steady Bongo’s untimely death has left a void in Sierra Leone’s music scene. Renowned for his contribution to Afrobeat and traditional Sierra Leonean music, he was celebrated for hits that resonated with fans across generations.

This explanation is not too clear if you look at the the part of his body where the injury occurs that leads to his death. The injury is the back of his neck and head. Where is the bike rider? We also need to see the site of the accident as well as the stationary vehicle.
This issue need more investigation by the state.
rip 🙏🙏🙏
What about the rider and the vehicle?we need to know more.
May Allah have mercy upon you Lansana sherif.
Rest in peace big brother steady 🙏 Amen

Opinions are like assholes, so whenever incident of such nature occurred people must analyze from different perspectives. People are finding it difficult to believe the different narratives emanating with regards to the demised of such legend…. Some quarters are still not convinced with how people are elucidating the incident.
Some people are calling on the police to launch a full scale investigation into the incident.
The persons of interest includes but not limited to commander, the bike rider, those that brought Steady to the clinic, the nurses etc. etc.
Above all an autopsy examination must be done on the body before burial, that can help substantiate and ascertain the cause of death belong all miserable doubt.
More questions Nedd to be answered
Where did he fall no bruises on any other part of his body
Pls SLP do prooer investigations and autopsy is also required to ascertain the real cause of his death
Continue to rest in perfect peace “Legendary Steady Bongo”
