The LGBTQ+ community in Nigeria is grieving the tragic death of a young gay man in Port Harcourt, a city in Rivers State. Eyewitnesses report that the victim was violently pushed from a second-story window by attackers motivated by intense anti-LGBTQ+ hostility.
Accounts shared on social media reveal that the young man was confronted by a hostile group targeting him due to his sexual identity. The confrontation rapidly escalated into a brutal assault, culminating in his premature death-a tragedy that has ignited widespread sorrow and condemnation online.
Human rights defenders and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have strongly denounced this brutal incident, highlighting it as a stark reminder of the persistent threats faced by queer individuals in Nigeria. They urge authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation and ensure that those responsible are held accountable swiftly.
