Renowned singer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has raised alarm over purported plans by the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to apprehend Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP). Charly Boy alleges that Obi’s persistent criticism of the administration has drawn the ire of the government, leading to threats of arrest.

In a statement released via his social media handle, Charly Boy cautioned against any attempt to arrest or press charges against Obi, asserting that such actions would be met with unprecedented resistance from Nigerians. He emphasized the need for the government to exercise restraint to avoid sparking unrest within the nation.

Expressing concern over the reported situation, Charly Boy urged the Federal Government to refrain from what he described as “an illegal arrest” of Obi. He emphasized that Nigerians are prepared to stand in solidarity with Obi and resist any infringement on his rights.

Quoting from his social media post, Charly Boy underscored the determination of the people to oppose any alleged oppressive actions by the government. He called on the authorities to abandon any purported plans against Obi, emphasizing that such actions could have grave consequences for the nation’s stability.
