Tinubu’s aide urges calm after Nasboi’s terrorist video sparks alarm.

Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, criticized comedian and content creator Nasboi after the latter shared a video that Olusegun said was unrelated to Nigeria and could incite public fear.

In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Olusegun claimed that the footage Nasboi had posted was originally sourced from a page that identified the armed men in the clip as terrorists operating in Benin. He argued that the video had no connection to Nigeria and should not have been presented in a way that could provoke anxiety among Nigerians.

“You cannot continue to intentionally use your page to spread fear @iamnasboi for whatever reason you might think you have,” Olusegun wrote. “The video you posted was clearly quoted from a page that says these are Beninese terrorists. This means the footage is from Benin Republic and has nothing to do with Nigeria. We have our challenges, but you using your wide reach to spread fear with a fake footage is the highest form of irresponsibility. You can do better!”

The aide did not supply additional evidence to substantiate his claim or disclose when and where the footage was originally recorded.

Nasboi had shared the video earlier that day with the caption, “PRESIDENT @officialABAT.” The clip shows armed men on motorcycles conducting what appears to be a raid in a dusty rural community.
