Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, is a man of many personalities. To some, he is eccentric, while others believe he is just a blunt person.

Area Fada, as he is also fondly called by his fans, held a lying-in-state ceremony for his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, in Owerri, Imo State, on Wednesday, which had the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha in attendance.

However, just when the event was still going on, the entertainer stormed out of the International Conference Centre hall in Owerri, venue of the ceremony.

Initially, many thought Charly Boy was going out to attend to an urgent issue outside the hall, but to their surprise, he asked his aides, security men, journalists and cameramen inside the hall to come with him, apparently informing them he was done with the lying-in-state.

From what we gathered, Charly Boy took the action when he discovered that some politicians at the event were about to hijack his dad’s lying-in-state ceremony and turn into a political rally.

It was observed that the ceremony did not start until the state governor arrived, which was behind the scheduled time. Also, before his late arrival to the venue, supporters of the governor and members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had stormed the venue, singing and dancing. When the governor stormed the event, he was cheered by many people.

Also at the event was the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun.
