Charles Oputa,
popularly known as Charly Boy, on Monday led a protest to the headquarters of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja to demand the
extradition of Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum resources,
from the UK to Nigeria.
The
protesters, who converged on the premises of the anti-graft agency, wielded a
banner which comically read, ‘Bring Back Diezani Alison-Madueke’.
Two weeks ago, Charly Boy led a series of protests to demand that President Muhammadu Buhari
either resume office or resign.
In
one of the protests, his group – Our Mumu Don Do – was attacked by
hoodlums at Wuse market in the federal capital territory.
Alison-Madueke,
who served in the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, has been linked to
several corruption cases. Some pieces of property she allegedly own have also
been seized by the government.
But
the former minister insists that she has no case to answer and that the pieces
of property linked to her were not hers.
