Charleyboy Confronts Okorocha At Father’s Burial

The burial of the late Supreme court justice, Chukwudifu Oputa, was turned dramatic yesterday as the son of the late judge, Charles Oputa popularly known as Charleyboy humiliated the governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha during the memorial service at the Sacred heart catholic church, Oguta.
In fact Charleyboy   almost fought the governor for attempting to make his speech at the occasion.
The self-acclaimed “area fada” seemed ready to explode  all through the event  and Okorocha was unfortunate to be the first person to draw the musician’s ire as Charleyboy jumped up from his seat to snatch the microphone from the governor when he attempted to make his speech.
Even pleas by Rev-Fr Mathew Kukah, who officiated at the service, to Charleyboy to allow the governor make his speech fell on on deaf ears.
It would be recalled that Charleyboy walked out on the governor during the Imo State organized Day of Tribute in honour of the late Justice, when Okorochas climbed the podium to make his speech.
Angered by the musician’s antics, the governor Okorocha also stormed out of the church in the company of his commissioners and security aides.
Immediately after that, the crowd began to disperse for apparent fear of possible breakdown of law and order as security men battled to bring the situation under control.
Earlier in his sermon, Kukah lauded the virtues of the late justice of the Supreme Court, stressing that it might have taken a measure of greatness by the late Oputa to tolerate his son while alive.
He stated that the late Oputa was greatly concerned with the concept of justice and equity during his life time.
