A crossdresser in Abuja was harassed and stripped by a mob in a viral social media video. Despite trying to leave, the group prevented the individual from escaping.
The crossdresser was eventually released with a warning against wearing similar attire in public. This incident follows a 2022 House of Representatives bill proposing a ban on crossdressing in Nigeria.
The amendment to the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act aims to prohibit crossdressing, with exceptions for theatrical performances. If passed, violators could face up to six months in prison.
