Veteran Nigerian artist Charles Oputa, well known by his stage as Charly Boy, has spoken out about facing several difficulties.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the musician said this on his Instagram page on Saturday in response to a video of the week’s third mainland bridge suicide attempt by Lagos socialite Farida Sobowale.
Speaking about his experience, Charly Boy disclosed that he had been duped out of millions of Naira and was also suffering from prostate cancer, which had already taken the lives of several of his friends.
