Ifeanyi Chukwu-Agah Benedict is the identity of the crossdresser whose body was discovered on the Katampe-Mabushi Expressway in Abuja, according to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command.
The crossdresser, a 33-year-old male from Afikpo North Local Government Area in Ebonyi State, was identified by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement said, “Sequel to a case of culpable homicide and the finding of an unidentified male corpse previously mistaken for a girl on August 8, 2024, the operatives of the FCT Command have initiated a discreet inquiry as ordered by the Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh.
“Preliminary investigations revealed the deceased to be one Ifeanyi Chukwu-Agah Benedict, a ’33’ year old man who hails from Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State and resides at Dapé in Karmo Area of Abuja.”
The statement also stated that the deceased’s family has been notified and is providing the police with the information they need.
The public was given the assurance by the leadership that any new information regarding the probe would be released when it was ready.
It is known that on August 8, the hospital pronounced the male corpse—who was previously thought to be female due to his women’s clothing—dead and without any methods of identification.
He was allegedly attacked at night on August 7 and his body was left on the road near Banex, Wuse II, in the Federal Capital Territory.
Additionally, it was stated that the late crossdresser, also known as Abuja Area Mama, performed a live session on TikTok on Wednesday night prior to his horrible death.
