Reality TV star, Angel Smith has criticized those applauding the gruesome murder of one of Nigeria’s crossdressers and Tiktoker simply known as Abuja Area Mama.
News made rounds that the body of Abuja Area Mama was found dead along the Katampe – Mabushi expressway in Abuja on Thursday morning. The sad news sent shock waves across social media as many mourned his demise. Some Netizens noted that despite his sexuality, he didn’t deserve to lose his life, others said that his way of life gave him up.
Before his death, Abuja Area Mama has constantly been attacked by unknown people. While there are no records to show that he reported any of the assaults to the police, he continually took to his TikTok page to express his fears.
Reacting to his demise, Angel took to her X page to criticise those who celebrated Area Mama’s death. She labelled that heartless and hypocritical and highlighted the irony of condemning the government’s actions while displaying the same cruelty and intolerance.
She tweeted,
“You guys are wicked, God forbid you people and then you’ll come and be shouting at the government when you guys are inherently as wicked and sick as they are. Rest in peace, Area Mama, I hope you’re at peace now. May your killers know no peace. Tufiakwa to you people, you guys actually make me physically ill, fools.”
