Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s President and a prominent youth advocate, has strongly denied allegations that he led thugs to disrupt a meeting of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in Abuja.
The controversy erupted after a publication circulated online claiming that Tinubu stormed the venue with armed men and threatened student leaders, including NANS President Atiku Isah. The headline of the report read:
“Seyi Tinubu Leads Thugs To Abuja Venue Of NANS Inauguration, Threatens To Kill Me, Students President Atiku Isah Cries Out.”
In response, Seyi Tinubu took to social media to debunk the report, sharing a screenshot of the headline and calling it “FAKE” and “defamatory.”
“Enough is enough with these FAKE stories and defamation of my character,” he wrote, clearly rejecting the claims as baseless.
The post has since drawn widespread attention online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the growing tension between high-profile figures and student bodies.
As of the time of filing this report, neither NANS nor law enforcement authorities have issued an official statement on the matter.
