A gay man in Cameroon was stonned to death by
an angry mob when he was caught having s3x with
a 17 year old boy inside his shop in the cental
market of Maroua, Cameroon. The man, a
wholesale medicine supplier was also known as an
Islamic teacher, an Oustaz, the “name given to one
who has completed the study of the Koran.”The
crowd was alerted by a “street kid” shouting
“Samaroka! Samaroka!” (the word for homosexual
in the Fulfulde language).
His body was abandoned by the neighborhood’s
Muslim traders, leaving it for Christians to bury.The
17-year-old was reportedly taken to the district
chief. One merchant said of Lamine Goche’s sexual
orientation, “We suspected for years. But Allah did
not give us an opportunity to act. … Today Allah
answered our prayers and we surprised him.”
