Mob Attacks, Strips Crossdresser In Abuja

An unidentified crossdresser has been harassed and stripped in Abuja.

Naija News reports that the viral video online shows a group of people confronting the crossdresser over his choice of outfit.

However, the crossdresser attempted to walk away, but the crowd followed him, hurling derogatory comments and making aggressive gestures.

The man was consequently stripped off and harassed before he was allowed to walk away with a cautionary warning not to wear such an outfit again.

The incident comes in light of the recent death of another Abuja crossdresser, known as Area Mama.

The crossdresser was found dead along the Katampe-Mabushi expressway in August.

Area Mama’s body was discovered in a pool of blood, with visible scratches and bruises, and his belongings scattered nearby.

In other news, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that he is committed to reviewing and upgrading the Abuja master plan.

The minister made the statement when a team of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) visited him in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the project, under the Review and Upgrading of Integrated Urban Development Master Plan for Abuja, would be implemented in partnership with JICA.

“For us, be assured that it is a project that we are committed to, and we will do all we can to see that the project comes to fruition,” he said.

The minister promised the JICA team that all the expectations from the FCTA for the implementation of the project would be made in due course.

The former Rivers State Governor equally assured JICA of stronger collaboration for the development of the FCT, including satellite towns and environs.
