Entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, was on Tuesday rescued by the police at the Wuse market in Abuja where he had taken his #Resumeorresign protest however, his BMW car was badly damaged by irate youths. Charly Boy who has been leading a group to demand for the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from London or resign with a protest which he aptly named #Resumeorresign, was attacked by youths when he took his anti-Buhari rally to the market.
According to a twitter user, Adeyanju Deji, “Charly Boy’s car was damaged by the thugs.’’
He was reported to have fled, abandoning his car. But the youths went after him. Other reports say that the police resorted to gunshots, teargas to disperse the youths who almost lynched the musician.
Recall that activist had suffered pains from teargas last week when the police tried to disperse him and members of his #Resumeorresign protesters at the Unity Fountain. Pro-Buhari youths, led by a civil society organisation, had also hit the streets in support of President Buhari, claiming that Charly boy and his group were sponsored by corrupt politicians.
The Senate had last week denounced the protest and explained that Buhari had not breached any law while the Presidency explained that Buhari had transmitted power as required by the constitution and has therefore not committed any infraction.
Not to be left out was former militant, Asari Dokubo who took to social media to denounce the protest, berating Charly Boy for even starting it in the first place. The police had also accused Charly Boy of faking his collapse when he was tear gassed during the protest when it commenced last week.
He hardly expected he would be attacked by irate youths and so took his campaign to popular Wuse market, but was saved by the prompt intervention of the police. Police resorted to release of bullets because they were almost overpowered. Charly boy ran leaving his car behind. The damaged car was later recovered and taken away by the police.
