Shortly before President Buhari returned to Abuja from London on medical vacation, Charly Boy and others had had daily sit-out at both in Nigeria and London under the group names, ResumeOrResign and Our Mumu Don Do.
National Daily recalls that the group were assaulted by the men of Nigerian Police alleging that miscreants took over the peaceful protest.
