A court in Cameroon has sentenced famous cross-dresser, Shakiro alias Bobrisky and 1 other to 5 years in prison for “attempted homosexuality”

It could be recalled that Shakiro otherwise known as “Cameroonian Bobrisky” and 2 other individuals were nabbed in February for allegedly practicing homosexuality, which is a crime in Cameroon.

Shakiro born Loic Njeukam, and Patricia, also identified as Roland Mouthe, were sentenced on Tuesday, 11th May.

The duo received the maximum sentence of 5 years in prison and fines of 200,000 CFA francs ($372.44), their lawyers told Reuters.

Besides “attempted homosexuality,” they were convicted of public indecency and failing to carry identification.

“This is a political decision,” said one of the lawyers, Alice Nkom, who vowed to appeal the verdict.

“It’s Yaounde (the central government) that said these people must not bring homosexuality to Cameroon.”  she added.

Reacting to this, Henry Martins wrote, “Wow very good for them Nigeria government are still sleeping”

Gbolanetti wrote, “You are attracted to a man with makeup and not to real woman….. I can never understand “

Ebere Elsie wrote, “Nigeria government will not see dis kind of law and implement it. Is only laws that don’t have head they will be interested in.”
