Enioluwa On Inhumane Treatment Of Crossdresser | Fab.ng

Enioluwa Adeoluwa, a social media influencer and public figure, has spoken out against the harassment of a crossdresser captured in a viral video on social media.

In the video, bystanders were seen assaulting the crossdresser, with one individual even using a plank to strike them. Enioluwa expressed his disapproval of the incident on his official X page, describing it as “inhumane and unjust.”

He emphasised that individuals should not be subjected to violence or harassment based on their choices or sexual orientation. Enioluwa urged the public to respect people’s decisions and advocated for a world where everyone can live without fear of such mistreatment.

He wrote,

“It is inhumane, it is unjust, and it is unkind to pick up a plank and hit another human because you do not agree with their choices or sexual orientation. Leave people alone. Everyone deserves to live their life without the fear of violence or harassment and, most notably, physical violence. Even if we don’t agree with someone’s choices, we must resist the urge to inflict harm. It’s hypocritical to speak up against oppression while we remain oppressors.”

In a separate post, Adeoluwa encouraged the public to adhere to “lawful process” instead of resorting to vigilante justice.

He continued,

“You can decide to misconstrue what I have said, but regardless of our personal beliefs or preferences, justice should never be selective. Once it is, then it simply does not exist. We cannot resort to violence or harm against others simply because we disagree with their choices or lifestyles. Just as we would report illegal activities to the authorities, we must uphold the principle of due process and refrain from taking justice into our own hands. We must reject the notion that violence is justified based on our perceptions of stereotypes and misconceptions. Disputes should and must be resolved through lawful means.”

In April 2022, a new law was proposed in Nigeria that would make it illegal for people to cross-dress. This proposal came as an amendment to an existing law against same-sex marriage. Muda Umar, a member of the House of Representatives, introduced the amendment.

If the amendment had been passed, anyone caught cross-dressing could have been sentenced to up to six months in jail. However, the amendment was not successful, and cross-dressing is not currently illegal in Nigeria.
