In a Twitter post on Wednesday, he reflected on his journey and claimed to have witnessed and endured various hardships that have affected his outlook.

Charly Boy, who initiated the ‘Our Mumu Don Do’ movement, revealed that he had been subjected to brutality, tear-gassing, financial hardships, and even imprisonment by security operatives.

His encounters since 1966 have led him to lose hope, he added.

Expressing his sentiments, 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 have been brutalized, tear-gassed, locked up for months, rendered poor by our nonsensical security force.”
