After the tragic death of a man who was lured and killed in Port Harcourt because of his sexuality, one user commented, “Na yeye waka kill am don’t blame any one receive sense,” placing the blame entirely on the victim.
This comment is deeply insensitive and wrong. No one deserves to die because of who they are or because they trusted the wrong person. Victim-blaming shifts focus away from the real crime — murder — and justifies the inexcusable actions of the perpetrators. Instead of mocking or blaming the dead, society should demand justice and condemn those who carried out such brutality. Every human life deserves dignity and protection under the law.
