True Crime with ReniPlay episode
Show notes
In 1898, the British tried to tax every African home in Sierra Leone. One man refused. They tried to arrest him. He answered with war. This is the story of Bai Bureh.


He had already shown what he was capable of.

He lost both parents at six. Decades later, he crowned himself emperor.

Miracles, murder charges, strange rumours and a man who says he is beyond death.

The court has one case. The internet has questions.

A $2,500 deal. A five-year-old girl. And a mother who was supposed to protect her.

This is the story of Sharon Otieno.
