Tragedy has struck in Abuja as a prominent crossdresser, known widely as ‘Abuja Area Mama,’ was discovered deceased in the Banex area of Wuse II on Thursday morning.

The news of his death has sent shockwaves through social media, where fans and admirers have been expressing their sorrow and paying heartfelt tributes to him.

In response to the incident, Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, has confirmed that the authorities are aware of the situation and are actively investigating.

She indicated that the police are in the process of gathering further details to provide a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding his death.

“I am currently working with the Commissioner of Police on this case. I will provide more information as soon as it becomes available,” Adeh stated in a conversation with SaharaReporters.

This tragic event comes just days after another notable figure in the Nigerian crossdressing community, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky, was released from prison.

Bobrisky had served a six-month sentence for the offense of mutilating Nigerian currency, specifically naira notes.

On Monday, Bobrisky and his friends were seen celebrating his release, marking the end of his incarceration with visible relief and jubilation.
