An explosive audio circulating on Sierra Leonean social media has confirmed what many citizens have long suspected: that Fatima Bio’s influence in the nation’s governance is rooted not only in her proximity to power but in her deep, disturbing entanglement with juju cultist oaths and cultist practices.
In the leaked recording, Fatima Bio is heard speaking in her signature sharp commands, addressing unnamed government officials in a tone more directing than presidential. She bluntly references a sworn secret pact allegedly made between herself, Minister of Labor Mohamed Rahman Swaray, and several other officials. The pact, according to Fatima, was made over a sensitive governance matter; she mentioned Kenema, but it could also be related to the Koidu Holdings industrial dispute, given her mention of a mayor and the role of the labor ministry in the standoff.
In the audio, she makes chilling statements about the consequences of breaking the sworn pact, stating that going against their sworn commitment would bring repercussions for her children and the families of those involved. Fatima Bio asks rhetorically,
Leh wi pikin den go halaki, for uda?
Losely translated as ‘going against the sworn pact to curse our children’s future, for whom?’
It is a damning revelation of how entrenched Fatima Bio is in the nation’s governance. It also reveals how she uses ritualistic oaths, juju manipulations to influence high-level decisions in Sierra Leone’s governance.
In the audio, Fatima Bio alleges that Minister Swaray led them into the cultist oath-taking. She further implicates her husband, Julius Maada Bio, saying he gave his blessing to the pact and even offered financial support when the officials visited their residence to seal the agreement.
This is not how state governance should function.
Dangerous Union of Cultism and Governance
The idea that a sitting First Lady, unelected, unaccountable, and increasingly erratic, is operating through cultist networks and juju alliances should terrify Sierra Leoneans. Yet, this audio confirms what many Sierra Leoneans have heard but dared not say aloud.
Fatima Bio frequently flaunts juju artifacts; the silver ring and bracelet she wears daily are consistent with West African juju amulets. Her unexplained wealth, erratic interference in state affairs, and open contempt for due process can now be understood to be fueled by more than just arrogance. They are rooted in juju manipulation and secret alliances, practices that are not just alien to the rule of law but are toxic to democracy, and should be repulsive to every citizen.
Fatima Bio’s background adds even more cause for concern. Fatima Bio’s biological father resides in Kissidougou, a region in southeastern Guinea long known as the Mecca of West African juju. It is from this same Kissidougou that she is believed to draw her perceived powers, and it is no surprise that her visits to her father are done in secret, away from media glare and public scrutiny.
Julius Bio’s Unpresidential Silent Endorsement
What makes the situation even more dangerous is that Julius Maada Bio silently approves of his wife’s behavior and actions. While he may not explicitly direct her to act in her signature uncouth manner, his complicity is undeniable. Fatima Bio’s interference in the Koidu labor crisis, her intimidation of government ministers, and her threats toward those who challenge her, none of this has been publicly condemned by Julius Bio.
Instead, he rewards her. He enables her.
This audio confirms what many feared: Fatima Bio is not just an ambitious First Lady. She is an unelected power broker, operating above the law, using juju ritual practices to intimidate and control government officials, with the backing of presidential silence.
Sierra Leone in Peril
This latest audio leak isn’t just gossip. It is a national security concern of the highest order. It reveals a governance system compromised by cultic secrecy, juju manipulation, and unchecked personal ambition, posing a grave threat to our nation.
Fatima Bio is setting a dangerous precedent: In Sierra Leone, the path to influence is no longer through service or sacrifice but through oaths, juju, and favoritism.
Her aspiration to one day become President of Sierra Leone, as seen in the recent 2028 SLPP campaign flyers, should terrify every citizen who believes in democracy, transparency, and merit. A woman entangled in corruption scandals in Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom, now exposed as a cultist manipulator, is openly seeking the country’s highest office.
The real question we must all ask is this:
How much more damage will Fatima Bio do to our country before the nation wakes up to say enough is enough?
It’s time for every citizen to pay attention and demand accountability.
