“Allow me catch my cruise” Charly Boy says after scooter accident
Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has advised his critics to “allow me catch my cruise”, after he survived a scooter accident. He said he was now hale and hearty.
Social media was recently flooded with reports of the ‘serious accident’ involving the septuagenarian in Lagos.
This came after the music maestro had shared the photos of his plastered face and a post on his Instagram page on Monday.
Charly Boy wrote in pidgin, “Guess what happened to me recently?” “See as I go fall on top my scooter scatter my face.
“Thank God I’m healing very well. All those wey sorry for me God bless una. All those wey yab me, dey call me Agbaya, biko allow me catch my cruise jare!
“After I don ride power bikes for 45yrs no scratch. Na on top scooter I come just fall. This life no balance o.”
The post thereafter stirred mixed reactions on social media, especially from Charly Boy’s fans, with many expressing sadness that he was in a critical condition at the hospital.
However, the “Area fada,” as he is fondly called by fans, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the accident was mild and he was now fine and back on his feet.
He said: “There is no need to worry as it was just some minor scratches on my face.
“I was just moving around with my scooter in my street when I accidentally fell. I’m now very fine, and the wounds on my face are healing fast.”
