The Sierra Leone DJs Union has issued a public apology to the Mayor of Kenema following the ongoing controversy involving entertainer Prezo Koroma.
In a statement, the union expressed regret over the incident and appealed for understanding and fairness as the legal process continues. The apology comes amid heightened public attention surrounding comments made during a performance in Bo, which sparked outrage and led to legal action.
Prezo Koroma, along with rapper Alhaji Amadu Bah, widely known as Boss LAJ, is currently facing charges including cyberbullying and insulting conduct under the Cyber Security and Crime Act, 2021. The case stems from a viral video in which remarks were allegedly made against the Kenema mayor.
The DJs Union described the situation as unfortunate and called for calm, urging authorities and the public to consider the broader impact on the entertainment industry. The union also stressed the importance of respect for public office while encouraging dialogue and reconciliation.
The controversy has already drawn reactions from different parts of the entertainment sector, with some stakeholders calling for accountability, while others are pushing for forgiveness and resolution outside the courts.
Meanwhile, the matter remains before the court, with both accused individuals still undergoing legal proceedings as authorities determine the next steps.
The incident has sparked a wider national debate about freedom of expression, responsibility in entertainment, and the limits of public criticism in Sierra Leone’s creative industry.
