Nigerian singer cum activist, Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy who recently suspended the anti-Buhari protests, was attacked alongside his protesters yesterday at Wuse market in Abuja.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the self-proclaimed Area Fada decried the attack and promised that he will continue to play his own part in nation building.
“I cry for Nigeria, I cry for the future of the young generation, I cry for our youths.I have done my own and I will continue to do my own. If I died yesterday at Wuse market, I would have gone to the creator fulfilled”.
Charly Boy denied going to Wuse market to protest adding that he went there to pick an item.
”Like I said, I did not go to the market to protest, I went with a few of my guys to pick up an item and in the process, the same people who have been attacking us stormed the market in a bus, mobilized some thugs, particularly the almajiris to attack us.”
He stated that he would have been killed if not for the resistance put up by one of his aides, who stopped one of the thugs from stabbing me with a dagger.
‘’I did not really care, I was just walking away and suddenly a man attacked me from behind with a dagger, in the process one of the guys came to my defense. When I was been taken away, they insisted on burning him alive. They had mobilized and gathered some tyres to set him ablaze before he took off from the scene, but before then, he had been brutalized.’
“Even when he tried to run into a moving taxi, he was dragged out . He, however held on, you really need to see his legs, he is currently in one of the hospitals. They can stop us from protesting on the street, they can attack us, but they wouldn’t stop us from talking. As far as I am concerned, our protest will continue until Buhari returns or resigns.’’
