Nigeria - Popular Nigerian entertainer and political activist, Charly Boy who is also the coordinator of the #OurMumuDonDo movement was attacked by traders at Wuse market in Abuja.
The movement led by Charly Boy is demanding for the return of president Muhammadu Buhari to the country after he has been away for 100 days since May 7.
The movement is asking the president to resign if he is unfit to resume his duty as the president of the country.
Eyewitnesses at the scene of the incident alleged that the protest on Tuesday degenerated into ethnic crisis as Hausas and Igbos started stoning each other at Wuse Market, Abuja.
About the incident, PDP’s former Youth leader, Deji Adeyanju tweeted, “We just went to Wuse market for mobilization against 100 days event tomorrow and a regular face at Unity Fountain brought thugs to attack us.”
“Charly Boy came to this market with some cameramen doing his protest here.
I was standing in front of my shop when I saw him running for his dear life, being chased by those youth,” a trader at the market said.

“They nearly lynched him, because those youth almost overpowered police security near him.”
Charly Boy was rescued by security operatives who fired gunshots and tear-gas to disperse the crowd.
The security operatives later returned to remove Charly Boy’s vehicles from the market, using tear-gas to disperse the protesters who tried to stop them. The gates of the market were temporarily closed and manned by heavily armed security operatives after the incident.
Adeyanju also claimed in another tweet that Charly Boy’s car was damaged by the thugs that attacked the group.
