A Nigerian man has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for dressing up as a woman and loitering around Lagos international airport, court officials said Tuesday. "He pleaded guilty to the charges and was given 18 months without the option of a fine during his trial on Monday," an official at the court in the Lagos suburb of Ikeja told AFP.
It was not clear what Uche Ndubuisi was hoping to achieve with his transvestite antics, but 22 pairs of women's pants, four bras as well as several make-up kits were used as evidence to convict him.
Does this mean I won’t be getting my check? :0)
Good Lord! That's the guy who's wiring $10 million into my bank account tomorrow!
not a bad law
Nigeria might be onto something here
Guilty!
Check his send folder. Could be a Nigerian princess who desperately needs your help.
Have you been requiring the scammers to cross-dress and hang out at the airport?
I am sure many here would be happy for the US to adopt Islamic Law.
Maybe he was auditioning for the new season of project runway.
Too bad he already spent it all on lace bra's, lipstick and shoes. :O)
It makes sense that he was at the airport. It sounds like he has a lot of baggage.
Well, not yet.
Mary Ann Andree was drying her hair in the Rio Sport and Health Club in Gaithersburg, Maryland, last month when the door to the women’s locker room suddenly opened. In came a man, wearing a blue ruffled skirt and make-up.As Andree later told reporters, “I was very upset. There is a lot he could have seen.” Andree is far from alone. A lot of other women in Montgomery County, Maryland, are upset over a new law that demands co-ed locker rooms and bathrooms in all public accommodations.
Montgomery County, adjacent to Washington, D.C., passed the law last November to accommodate “transgendered people”—that is, men who perceive themselves to be women, and women who perceive themselves to be men. The law adds gender identity to the list of protected classes to the Montgomery County Code banning discrimination.
If some perv walked in on my daughters in the locker room, I'm not sure what I'd do.
It was a crime of fashion. :-/
