Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu, has been falsely accused by a certain Atiku Abubakar Isah – a cleric associated with prominent political opposition figures, who fraudulently claimed to be the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), of leading armed men to disrupt a NANS inauguration event in Abuja and threatening his life.
Seyi Tinubu has categorically denied these allegations, labelling them as baseless and criminally defamatory. He stated, “Enough is enough with these fake stories and defamation of my character.” CONTINUE READING
Sources close to the event reported no evidence of Seyi Tinubu’s presence at the specific event venue or any prior interaction between the two men, and neither the hotel management nor law enforcement agencies confirmed any incident involving him.
The hotel management has also clarified further, stating that there was no booking for a NANS event at their hotel.
Additionally, the legitimacy of Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah’s claim to the NANS presidency has been questioned by the incumbent and immediate past NANS leadership, with some groups labelling him an impostor and others providing evidence to debunk Atiku Isah’s claims of ever meeting Seyi Tinubu.
The Nigerian President’s son is expected to pursue criminal defamation proceedings in the coming days.
