  Charly Boy has described the action of Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri as a misplacement of priority for appointing former Big Brother Naija housemate, Rebecca Nengi Hampson over a first-class graduate. Nengi recently got an appointment for the role of a Senior Special Adviser to the governor and was also made the Face of Bayelsa and role model to the Bayelsa State girl child. Unhappy with the development, Charly Boy took to Instagram to share his opinion which he titled ‘THE IRONY OF THE NIGERIAN STATE’.

The police unit was disbanded but the protests persisted as citizens demanded reforms in the force. Protesters converged on the tollgate for 13 days before they were forcefully dispersed by soldiers.
