Charly Boy reacts to gay allegation, threatens to sue newspaper

Charly Boy

Last week, news spread like an hurricane about Charles Oputa popularly known as Charly Boy being a gay and the head of illuminati in Nigeria.
This allegation was made in a publication by a national daily newspaper, National Mirror of Saturday, May 26, 2012 by one of the paper’s writers.

In the story, Area Fada, as Charly Boy is also fondly called, was reported to be a gay the being the head of illuminati members in Nigeria.

He was also reported to be making a move to take over as the number one gay in Nigeria. This, according to the story, would allegedly make Charly Boy take over the number one spot from the first publicly acclaimed gay, Pastor Roland Macaulay.

In a reaction to the gay allegation by the paper, Charly Boy fumed at the publication and has vowed to sue the National Mirror for publishing such damaging story about him.

The 60-year old former PMEAN president stated, ”yesterday, I was an illuminate member. Today, a gay, tomorrow, slepping with a coffin and the list is endless. When will they stop these lies”?

Stating further, the head of ‘okada’ riders in Nigeria said, ”I read with total dismay in Saturday Mirror newspaper that I am a gay and head of illuminate. I have never sued before…but this time…,” he left it blank.

One thing that baffles some industry watcher is the fact the writer of the alleged damaging story is known to have close ties with Charly Boy. Is this another media stunt from Charly Boy who is always in the habit of such publicity stunt?

You will recall that few years ago, Charly Boy was in the midst of gay allegation with Denrele Edun when both were pictured in a kissing position.
