Tinubu Social Media Aide Accuses Comedian Nasboi of Sharing Benin Terror Video as Nigerian Insecurity Footage

Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, posted criticism of content creator and comedian Nasboi on his X account on Tuesday. Olusegun wrote that Nasboi had shared footage originally posted by an account that identified the armed men as terrorists operating in Benin. He stated the video therefore had no connection to Nigeria.

"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. " "We have our challenges, but you using your wide reach to spread fear with a fake footage is the highest form of irresponsibility.

" the aide added. " The footage shows armed men riding motorcycles and carrying out what appears to be a raid in a dusty rural community. AllAfrica reported that Olusegun did not provide additional evidence to support his claim or disclose when and where the footage was originally recorded.

The exchange occurred on 2 June 2026.
