At a motor park in Lagos state, a Nigerian crossdresser received more than he bargained for when he was attacked by several neighborhood youngsters who tore his clothes and left him with injuries and no shoes.
In the footage, the yet-to-be-named cross-dresser can be seen gasping for air after being severely abused by neighborhood guys who were annoyed by his evident feminine characteristics.
The attack will take place just days after a group of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) activists took to the streets of Abuja to demand that the ‘Cross Dressers Bill,’ which was recently proposed at the National Assembly in Abuja, be revoked, be revoked.
A bill prohibiting cross-dressing and proposing a six-month jail term for offenders was recently read on the floor of the House of Representatives.
The bill states that “a person engaging in cross-dressing is guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment of 6 months or to a fine of five hundred thousand naira.”
