Lawyer Withdraws Representation For Hawa Hunt Following Arrest And Family Accusations
Bernice Bangura The legal representation of Hawa Hunt, a contestant on the reality show “House of Stars,” has taken a dramatic turn after her lawyer withdrew from the case following accusations from Hunt’s daughter.
Hunt was arrested live on television on December 22nd, 2024, for allegedly making disparaging remarks about President Bio and First Lady Fatima Bio during the recent election campaign. The arrest sparked immediate controversy, with many questioning the timing and its potential political motivations, especially following Admire Bio’s appearance on the show the previous day.
Initially, a lawyer offered to represent Hunt pro bono. According to a statement released by the lawyer, they successfully secured bail for Hunt last Thursday, subject to two conditions: surrendering her Sierra Leonean and Canadian passports, which she complied with, and providing two sureties with properties in Freetown’s central business district.
Despite efforts to meet the bail conditions, Hunt was unable to secure the necessary sureties. Amidst this, Hunt’s management team reportedly indicated they were bringing in other lawyers. The original lawyer stated that Hunt refused to accept other representation, even though they did not object to additional legal counsel.
The situation escalated when the lawyer received an abusive Facebook Messenger call from Hunt’s daughter in Canada, accusing them of colluding with authorities to kidnap Hunt and orchestrating a scam with the police. Citing threats to their professional integrity, the lawyer immediately withdrew their representation and informed the police.
To their “shock and dismay,” the lawyer later learned that Hunt had been charged in court and remanded in custody. The lawyer expressed well wishes to Hunt and her new legal team. They also noted that Hunt was “traumatized” and “remorseful” about the incident.
Kings Empire, the organizers of “House of Stars,” had previously stated that Hunt would have five days to return to the show after her investigation, excluding Christmas and Boxing Day. This deadline expired on December 31st, 2024, and Hunt has now been disqualified from the competition.
Abusive language against any leader is bad
Is Fatima Bio a leader?
U are d leader
I just wish you too get arrested so that you suffer for your stupidity
Thank you Mr. Samuel koroma, I salute you. Some of these idiots that are born in our beloved country don’t know their left from their right. Educated fools. May the
living God must reveals them to citizens of Sierra Leone, who is really a respectful Sierra Leonean. These people are heartless fools and disrespectful creatures. May God takes care of them all in their wicked ways.
Not only Fatima bio but the president’s well
Was Fatima Bio the person that was insulted?.
And besides if she is not a leader must she be insulted
Yes, she’s a leader (First Lady of Sierra Leone)
Why are you asking? Was the video only for Fatima? What about the President she abused? Fatima Bio is a Leader. That is why she is carrying a guided security.
Like mother Like daughter
This will teach her a lesson including others…
Well let them jail Adebayor who has done the worst.
Alfred kargbo go and bring Adebayor if you don’t see him in jail. Some of you don’t really fit to be a Sierra Leonean. If it was your mother and your father, your family she abused so, I am sure you will take ice cream and give it to Hawa Hunt. To thank her for doing so. I understand she is part of Canada, let her daughter
or any of her family say that to prime minister of Canada. They will be clapping and give her ice cream, right. Immediately in police custody. You fools. As I said, some of you don’t fit to be Sierra Leoneans.
Thank you sir 🙏🏽
Adebayoh will never come 🫴 to Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 officially when maada is in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Simply because adebayor knows that he is doing the wrong thing, that’s is why he will never come to Sierra Leone especially in this regime.
Don’t worry about adebayor
Wait until Adebayo steps foot in Sierra Leone
The woman she is very rude to say such rude language against your fellow woman diapir she’s the first lady of Sierra Leone we need to stop this in our country
If you don’t want people to abuse you stop holding public office. There is no leader in the world that they don’t abuse. Only a failed leader like Mada Bio does such thing
This is your country you just can’t give hate speech against your leader when you truly know that you gonna come back..
People please let us don’t forget that the table will one day turn oooo people are outside there who are also guilty of this same crime. so make we know how for treat one an other
