Madam Lucy Gulama (26 September 1896–1966)[1] was the Sierra Leonean wife of Paramount Chief Julius Gulama.[2]
Madam Lucy was the matriarch of one of Sierra Leone's most powerful noble families. She is the mother of Paramount Chief Madam Ella Koblo Gulama and Komeh Gulama Lansana,[2] the widow of Brigadier David Lansana, the late Commander of Sierra Leone's Armed Forces who briefly served as a military junta leader before his removal and subsequent execution after a counter coup in 1975.[3]
Her husband, Julius Gulama, was Paramount Chief of Kaiyamba Chiefdom.[2] He was known in Sierra Leone for efforts to promote unity among the country’s ethnic groups and for supporting education initiatives.[2]
