A young Namibian, who reportedly fled Namibia and sought asylum in Britain because of discrimination experienced due to his bisexuality, has committed suicide.
While devastated family and friends declined to go on record about Romeo Tjijandjeua Nguase's death, it was confirmed that a funding drive is under way to return his body to Namibia for burial.
The 22-year-old refugee from LGBTQ persecution in Namibia allegedly sought asylum in the UK three years ago.
“So sorry that our asylum system failed you Romeo, you should have been safe here. Rest in peace and power,” a friend wrote online last week.
