Nigerian crossdresser, James Brown has cautioned his fellow crossdressers to stop standing beside the road following the tragic death of Abuja Area Mama.

Abuja-based crossdresser, Area Mama, was found dead in the early hours of Thursday along the Katampe – Mabushi expressway in Abuja.

Reacting to the Area Mama’s death, Brown in an Instagram post expressed concern for the safety of his colleagues and advised them to limit their public appearances, especially at night, to avoid similar fates.

Brown in the post clarified that his crossdressing is primarily for social media content and film, not for street work.

He wrote, “This Area Mama that happened was so quick. It was so quick that I did not even get enough time to see this boy. And I do not know who dey advise am. You don blow small. The work you dey do suppose reduce.

“He is dead already. All I know is that most of you who are dressing as a woman, standing on the road, your life is at risk. I have never dressed like a woman and stood on the road my entire life. It has never been my caution.

“My drama queen is to do Instagram content or shoot movies. Everybody represents different things. Stay safe out there.”

However, Dailyeconomy on Thursday, August 8, reported that the Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Benneth Igweh, has ordered a discreet investigation into the mysterious death of an unidentified male found dressed in female clothing on an Abuja highway.
