'African Queen' seen in dodgy areas online (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sierra leonean

'african' is the definition.
(Sierra Leonean is an example)

'queen seen in dodgy areas online' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'seen in' is an insertion indicator.
'dodgy' indicates an anagram.
'areas'+'online'='areasonline'
'areasonline' anagrammed gives 'siraleonean'.
'er' placed within 'siraleonean' is 'SIERRA LEONEAN'.

(Other definitions for sierra leonean that I've seen before include "Inhabitant of a W African state" , "West African" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
