Mustapha Kamara has threatened to harm his wife, Adama Sesay, over claims that she was involved in a same-sex relationship.
According to Mustapha Kamara, the incident began shortly after their wedding in Freetown, Sierra Leone in 2023. Mustapha alleged that he found his wife, Adama Sesay, with another woman in what he described as a compromising situation in the Magazine community, Western Urban area in Freetown, triggering outrage among some residents of the area.
He further alleged that, following the incident in Magazine community Freetown, he proceeded with plans to travel with Adama to the United Kingdom for their scheduled honeymoon, hoping to remove her from the tensions and hostility within the community.
In August 2025, while in the UK on their honeymoon, Mustapha said upon returning to their hotel room after a brief shopping trip he found his wife engaged in an intimate video call with the same woman in Sierra Leone.
According to Mustapha who spoke to this newspaper via telephone, “I’m a staunct Muslim, I felt religiously disappointed and demean by that woman, but I left the hotel without physically assaulting her.
According to Mustapha, ” I did not return to the hotel after the incident because of what I saw on that day, and should I have return to that hotel, I would have committed a grave offence. According to sources, Adama and her stepson were forced to leave the accommodation after their duration of time to check out and seek assistance.
Mustapha told this medium that he has vowed to harm Adama if he encounters her anywhere in the world and ready to go to jail.
“What Adama did to me as a Muslim is a sacrilege that is unpadonable.”
Efforts to obtain comments from Adama Sesay were unsuccessful at the time of publication.
Female same-sex sexual activity is not expressly criminalized under Sierra Leone’s current criminal law, unlike provisions that historically targeted sexual acts between men. However, lesbian, bisexual, and queer women often face significant social stigma, discrimination, and, in some cases, threats or violence because of their perceived or actual sexual orientation.
