Sierra Leone police chop off rapper’s dreadlocks

Police in Sierra Leone have been accused of inhumane treatment, torture and degrading treatment of popular musician and rapper Alhaji Amadu Bah, better known as Boss LAJ, after he was arrested more than a week ago.

Plus, Belgian authorities have returned a tooth of the murdered Congolese independence hero, Patrice Lumumba, to his family. The gold-cap tooth was all that remained after his body was dissolved in acid.
