Nigerian social media has been gripped by concern following the emergence of a disturbing video showing popular crossdresser Emeka Nwosisi in a severely beaten state. The incident, which occurred recently, has prompted urgent calls for assistance from his team and widespread reaction from concerned citizens.
Violent Assault and Hospitalization
Movie producer Stanley Ontop shared crucial updates regarding Emeka's condition through a video call with the crossdresser's personal assistant. The footage revealed that Emeka had been subjected to a brutal physical assault where an unidentified man repeatedly struck him with a long stick while a woman's screams could be heard in the background.
Following the violent attack, Emeka was taken to Yabaleft, a well-known psychiatric hospital in Lagos. However, the medical facility reportedly requested a deposit before admitting him for treatment, forcing his team to bring him back home temporarily. The personal assistant made an emotional appeal to Nigerians for financial support to cover medical expenses and proper care.
Disturbing Visual Evidence
The video evidence circulating online paints a troubling picture of Emeka's current state. The crossdresser appeared lying helpless with multiple visible bruises covering his body. Medical plaster covered part of his head, and his overall condition looked pitiable according to those who viewed the footage.
This incident recalls the tragic 2024 murder of another prominent crossdresser, Abuja Area Mama, who was killed after venturing out during late hours. That previous tragedy had prompted warnings from celebrities to other crossdressers about personal safety precautions.
Public Reaction and Concerns
Social media responses have reflected widespread concern among Nigerians. User @your_number_1_personal_shopper commented: "Make ona no carry am go yaba left o e no dey kolo na depression turn am that way. Anyone willing to help him, should help him. Once e see better money in his account and better food, his sanity will come back."
Other reactions included @merita_baby's statement: "This is serious, I thought it was content. God please help Emeka," while @miraclenollytv questioned whether the attacker seen in the original video had been apprehended by authorities.
The situation has raised important questions about violence against crossdressers in Nigeria and the need for better protection mechanisms. Many are calling for proper foundations to take up the case and coordinate assistance efforts for the injured entertainer.
