Originally a slave, he was an elephant hunter and led the revolt of the migrants of the Fula in Jimara against the leadership of Mandinka in the middle of the 19th century.
Rumor has it that before 1867, Alfa Molloh met Al Hadj Omar Tall in person and joined the Tijani movement.
He supported El Hadj Oumar Tall in the siege of Kansala , the capital of the Kaabu Kingdom .
