A popular crossdresser was reportedly discovered dead along the barren Katampe Mabuchi road in the FCT in the early hours of Thursday, August 8.
His body, covered in blood and clad in the same black gown with white petals that he proudly displayed in a video only hours before his terrible demise, presents a chilling picture of a life cut short far too soon.
SP Josephine Adeh, a spokesperson for the FCT headquarters, confirmed the horrible discovery.
Area Mama, who never shied away from expressing himself, became a symbol of bravery in a culture where conformity is prevalent.
Adeh revealed that despite efforts to save him, Area Mama was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Adeh said, ‘’It is true. We received a distress call of a dead body of an unknown lady found at Katampe Mabuchi expressway. It was when the police arrived at the scene that we discovered that it was a man in full female attire with blood all over his face.”
