  • Charly Boy Defends 2014 Clash With Okorocha, Says “I Had to Send Him Out”

    Veteran entertainer Charly Boy has defended his controversial 2014 confrontation with former Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha, insisting he acted to stop political activity during his father’s burial.

    Why Charly Boy confronted Okorocha

    The entertainer recalled taking the microphone from Okorocha while he was addressing guests at the funeral of his father, late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa.

    According to him, the move was deliberate after he noticed what he believed was an attempt to turn the event into a political platform.

    “He wanted to use my father’s burial as a campaign for politics. And you don’t do that. Not when I’m around,” he said.

    “I had to send him out”

    Charly Boy maintained that he asked the former governor to leave the venue, stressing that the setting was personal and not political.

    “I had to send him out. And he knew he was in my territory,” he added.

    He further suggested that he would have reacted more strongly if the situation escalated.
