There was a mild skirmish as #OurMumuDonDo protesters, led by Charles Oputa was also known as Charly Boy, clashed with supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja on Friday.
The Charly Boy had for the last five days been protesting against the continued absence of President Buhari from the country, insisting that his absence was hindering key policy decision from being taken. The group is demanding Buhari return to Nigeria or resign.
The Charly Boy group had earlier assembled at the Unity Fountain when the other group [pro-buhari] later arrived at the scene and reportedly confronted the other group.
However, one of the conveners of the #OurMumuDonDo protest, Deji Adeyanju said the police officials at the incident stopped what could have degenerated to a fight between the two groups.
While we were finishing our Daily Sit-Out today, thugs hired by the anti-corruption APC govt made advances at us but were stopped by Police.
