LGBTQ community and other Nigerians react to brutal murder of crossdresser Area Mama

Nigerians received with shock the news of the brutal mu¥rd€r of popular crossdresser, Abuja Area Mama, in Abuja.

The crossdresser’s brutalized body was found lying along the Katampe Mabuchi expressway in the FCT in the early hours of today, August 8.

He was wearing the same dress he had on hours earlier when he posted a video from his outing on TikTok.

The dress had been ripped open to expose his naked body. His face, which appears to have been bashed in with an object, had turned purple. His bl00d stained the grass beside his body.

His purse was left open beside his body, alongside some personal items scattered at the scene.

The gory video and photos from the scene elicited reactions from Nigerians, especially members of the LGBTQ community.

They reacted with outrage, with some pointing out that this is not the first time Area Mama has been attacked for his sexual orientation, yet nothing was done to protect him after he spoke out about the attack.

Others pointed out that homophobes regularly threatened online to k!ll him but nothing was done.

Some members of the LGBTQ community called for the community to start k!lling their potential m¥rd£rers to avoid ending up like Area Mama.
