Charly Boy, a legendary singer and activist, has told his story of being brutalized and held up in a room for months.
The Nigerian singer known as Area Father recalled some of his experiences as an activist advocating for decent governance in Nigeria years ago.
Charly Boy, known for starting the “Our Mumu Don Do” movement and his outspoken character, detailed his story from the past on his Twitter page and how some security operatives locked him up for months over his movement.
He claims that some of his heinous experiences since 1966 have made him “soft like butter,” and that he has seen it all.
He tweeted, “As an individual, a citizen of this once great country and the Area Fada, I can say that I have seen it all, now am soft like butter.
“I was young when the Union Jack was lowered into oblivion. I saw hope perish in 1966 and the wanton destruction that followed in 1967.
“I watched my beloved father clear a path to national healing in 1999. I have seen even more since then. I sabi how water enters coconut. I have been brutalized, tear gassed, locked up for months, rendered poor by our nonsensical security force”.*
