A 33-year-old suspected lesbian, Adetunji Adetola, ran into a motorcycle, which resulted in an accident along the Polytechnic road in Ibadan on November 2nd 2018.
She was said to have run into a speeding motorcycle in her bid to escape a planned attack on her by the community youth but she was quickly rushed to a hospital by a good Samaritan. This, a source said, led to her disappearance from her family house and the community, after she was treated in the hospital.
Adetola who was alleged to be having a homosexual affair disappeared from her community having been reportedly declared wanted by a Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Bodija, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, and one of the Nigerian security outfits.
Adetola, who hailed from Oyo State, also escaped lynching, and jungle justice arose after she was stripped naked during a church service,
It was gathered that people living in her community were aggressively hostile to lesbians and homosexuals.
Investigations by our correspondent revealed that she was once caught in the act with one of her female friends (Chika).
It was gathered that the parents were ready to disown her due to their position in the Church and was already making plans for the authorities to arrest them.
She also feared that security operatives will ruthlessly deal with her going by the fact that lesbianism is considered a taboo and abomination by every tribe and ethnic group in Nigeria.
Sources (who pleaded anonymity) close to Adetola said she was last seen in a suburb in Ibadan city, Nigeria on November 2nd 2018 when she was trying to escape the wrath of the youths.
Accordingly, gay-related activities are generally considered taboo, as most communities especially in the South-Southern part of Nigeria would prefer lynching the perpetrators to death, even before the law takes its course.
Since December 7th, 2018, Adetola’s whereabouts remain unknown while the youths of her community are said to have resolved to attack her anytime she is seen around for desecrating their land by being a lesbian.
