In a shocking turn of events, a popular Abuja-based crossdresser known as Area Mama was found dead in the early hours of Thursday, August 8.
Passersby discovered the lifeless body, still clad in the same outfit seen in a TikTok video posted just the previous evening, August 7th.
Area Mama, who had been vocal about the threats and mistreatment he faced due to his lifestyle, had previously expressed concerns over his safety.
In 2022, he recounted a harrowing incident in the Gwarinpa area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where he was assaulted during a ‘hookup’ outing.
The attack reportedly occurred following a dispute with a taxi driver who had patronized his services.
Area Mama shared his ordeal on social media, displaying a bruised and swollen eye as evidence of the brutal beating.
The news of his tragic death has sparked outrage among netizens, who are calling on authorities to thoroughly investigate the incident and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
