The former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has alleged that he was trailed to his hotel in New York and attacked after his #harassBuhariOutOf NewYork protest.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s appearance on the day he gave his speech at the United Nations General Assembly
(UNGA) was greeted with massive protests by separatist groups and human rights activists.
Among the groups were the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Yoruba Nation Now and the civil rights group led by Reno Omokri who spear-headed the HarassBuhariOutOfNewYork Protest.
Expectedly, there were counter protests by those alleged to be in support of Buhari’s present administration.
Videos made the rounds on social media alleging that the pro-government protests were stage-managed with paid participants.
Omokri, in his Instagram post alleged that the pro-government groups of protesters were mostly non-Nigerians but blended well for the narrative because of their skin colour. He said that some were paid as much as $500.
The rights activist said that many people left their jobs to join him in the protest which he adjudged as largely successful.
Regrettable, according to the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, a strange man trailed him to his hotel but was stopped by his personal body guard.
The guard was hit severally with iron bars and appears to have been injured in the leg.
According to renoomokri, “I Was Trailed To My Hotel and Attacked After The #HARASSBUHARIOUTOFNEWYORK“
He said however, that he is not deterred, thanked everyone who heeded his call to join the protest.
