On Tuesday security operatives were reported to have used force, water and tear gas in effort to disperse the protesters and in the process Charly boy was said to have collapsed.
In reacting to his collapse former minister for Education, Oby Ezekwesili, chided Nigerians who made mockery of Charly boy’s situation.
She said “At 66 years, Charles Oputa is being beaten for his advocacy, YOU a young man/woman are insulting him. Go & do SOBER REFLECTION.”

Jim Iyke while speaking to press said “What we are asking for is simple, we are not saying we individually came here to elevate our life, we are saying enough is enough, You cannot run a country from outside another country.”
The police on Tuesday issued a statement denying the allegation while explaining that miscreants and hoodlums hijacked the protest as such they had to step in to avoid break down of law and order.
