Earlier in April, the House of Representatives considered a bill to prohibit and criminalize cross-dressing in Nigeria.
Muda Lawa Ulnar who sponsored the bill also proposed 6 months imprisonment or a fine of N500,000 for anyone found guilty.
Well, while that bill is yet to be passed, it appears some police officers have decided to take laws into their own hands, as seen in the story of Aanuoluwa Ajide-Daniels.
