Reality TV Star, Hawa Hunt has publicly expressed her gratitude to Sierra Leone’s First Lady Fatima Bio for intervening in her case and securing her freedom.
Hunt, who was facing cybercrime charges for allegedly insulting the President and First Lady in an online video, acknowledged the seriousness of her actions and pledged to learn from her past mistakes.
In a statement, Hunt conveyed her heartfelt appreciation for the First Lady’s continuous support. “I fully acknowledge the gravity of my mistakes and am committed to learning from them,” Hunt wrote. “Your exemplary leadership and nurturing spirit inspire me deeply. You serve as a remarkable role model to me and to so many others.”
Hunt also referenced the First Lady’s well-known saying, “bad bush nor dae for troway bad Pekin,” praising her for embodying the true essence of a mother to the nation. She further expressed gratitude for the First Lady’s intervention during the holy month of Ramadan, recognizing her efforts and prayers.
“I sincerely pray that Allah accepts your fasting and sacrifices during this holy month,” Hunt added.
Hawa Hunt, known for her online presence with over 100,000 followers, was arrested live on the reality TV show “House of Stars” on December 22nd for comments she made on social media in May 2023 criticizing President Julius Maada Bio and First Lady Fatima Maada Bio.
She was charged with “transmitting insulting messages via a computer system” under Sierra Leone’s Cybersecurity and Crime Act 2021. Prosecutors allege her video incited public disorder and defamed the president and his wife.
On Saturday, March 1, 2025 First Lady, Fatima Bio released a video calling for the release of the reality TV star while denying any involvement in her arrest and prosecution.
Hawa Hunt has proven that she is a true Sierra Leonean. Thank you First Lady Fatima Maada Bio for pleading on your daughter’s behalf.
Much appreciations to you Ma Hawa for acknowledging your mistakes.
Go and sin no more.
That is how life is all about, when you need help you will subdue to anything just for your freedom. Hawa Hunt has no other option rather than accepting and did what was told to do. Praise God Almighty for her released.

With what I have just assumed, the circumstances surrounding Hawa Hunt will lead her to fame, she will soon secure a post in this government.
She will be recognized as “The Reality TV show star, Hawa Hunt, who was detained for derogatory remarks against the President and his wife, Fatima, has been appointed as………”
God bless u mean first Lady, and thank u Hawa for acknowledging the fact that u were wrong, leaders are God sent, so it’s a sin to say negative words against them… Let the past be the past.. Long live our beloved Sierra Leone.
She should also acknowledge that freedom of speech also has limits. It’s not a freedom of speech to insult someone, moreso your head of state n first Lady for political gains. Criticize policies and not insult. She has learnt her lessons.
Her apology and gratitude should be spread wide n far
Mama Dr Fatima Maada Bio is the best First Lady Sierra Leone has ever had. She is such a loving person, and I pray to meet her some day. I am an APC fan but I voted for SLPP because of Dr Fatima Maada Bio. She is so supportive to her husband and the SLPP party, she encourages the young and boost her ability to help develop our beloved country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. I love you so much Mama Dr Fatima Maada Bio 💯❤
