Nigerian authorities who arrested a "homosexual cross-dresser" as the "mastermind" behind a failed assassination attempt, which killed 80 bystanders, have been accused of using the suspect as a convenient LGBT scapegoat.
It was reported on Wednesday that a suicide bomber had driven into a military convoy, targeting retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari, a former Head of State and current opposition figure. Although Mr Buhari was unharmed, three of his aides were injured and reportedly over 80 bystanders were killed by the explosion.
