Crossdressers risk 6 months in prison, if bill introduced on Tuesday by a member of the House of Representatives, Umar Muda, to prohibit cross-dressing in Nigeria is passed as law.
The aim of the bill is to ban cross-dressing with the exemption of those using it for entertainment, and also seeks to amend the same-sex marriage (prohibition) act of 2013 by including cross-dressing as one of the offences under the act.
It has come to the notice of the house of Assembly of some crossdressers who have become very popular in Nigeria, with the likes of Bobrisky and James Brown.
