In Abuja, a crossdresser faced harassment after being confronted by a group of young people for dressing like a woman and standing by the roadside at night like a prostitute.
The video circulating online shows the crossdresser responding to the group, who questioned why he dressed in women’s clothing.
His expression and body language reflected fear as he attempted to defend himself, explaining that he dresses this way, even at work, because it aligns with his lifestyle.
In another part of the video, the crossdresser is seen being stripped of his clothing, leaving him in only his trousers. The group having thoroughly intimidated him, ordered him to run away immediately. As he fled, they laughed and attempted to chase him.
