A woman simply identified as Sandra was said to have been recently attacked by some youth for allegedly being a lesbian.

The incident was said to have reportedly happened around Mabushi area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

A neighbour who was said to have monitored the 40-year-old for some time raised the alarm when she allegedly caught Sandra and one of her partners in the act.

Sandra reportedly during interrogation said that one Justina Daudu was the leader of the group of lesbians in the area and had reportedly gone underground to avoid the probing eyes of the police.
