Abubakar Hamza (b. 1985) is a Nigerian cross-dresser who spent 7 years dressed as a woman and selling aphrodisiacs. The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a country in West Africa and, by far, the most populated nation in Africa. ... An aphrodisiac is an agent which causes the arousal of sexual desire. ...
Hamza used a name Fatima Kajawi and lived as a woman with the Adamu family in Kano, northern Nigeria. In his own village he had a wife but in a city he dressed as a woman and sold aphrodisiacs to women for living. Sharia enforcers arrested him in September 2004. For other uses of the word Kano see Kano (disambiguation). ... Sharia (Arabic شريعة also Sharia, Shariah or Syariah) is traditional Islamic law. ...
In a trial on February 15, 2005 Hamza was sentenced to six months in prison, fined for equal to $38 and was told to stop his "immoral behavior". Local resident paid the fine in his behalf. At that stage he had already spent nine months in jail so he was released. February 15 is the 46th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ... A fine is money paid as a financial punishment for the commission of minor crimes or as the settlement of a claim. ...
During his stay with the family, Hamza spent a lot of time with her teenage daughters but they did not suspect he was not a girl, despite the fact that he always dressed and undressed in the bathroom.
Alhaji Adamu, whom I met sitting in front of his house, told me that even though Hamza had not engaged in any indecent behaviour he still deserved to be punished “because he had broken Islamic laws”.
AbubakarHamza is currently in Kano Central Prison awaiting trial where he will answer charges under Section 9 of the Prostitution and Immoral Acts Law.
