Seyi Tinubu Denies Abduction, Bribery Allegations By NANS President

Seyi, son of President Bola Tinubu, has refuted claims that he abducted and assaulted the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah.

Isah had stated at a press conference on Wednesday that Seyi and the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, offered him a N100 million bribe in Lagos to promote the president.

Comrade Isah alleged that he rejected the offer due to the president’s underperformance and claimed he was stripped naked, attacked, and abducted by hoodlums on 15 April.

He said, “I was abducted on the 15th of April. I was stripped naked and seriously beaten. They threatened to release a video.

“They told me nothing would happen if they released the video, and even if they killed me, Seyi Tinubu would order a cover-up.

“I made it clear that even if I were shot, I would still come to this hall. The inauguration proceeded, and I was announced as president. I want Nigerians to know what happened and that we will not give up. Seyi Tinubu can do anything he wants, but we are determined.”

However, Seyi Tinubu has rejected the claims in an Instagram post on Friday, stating that they were all lies intended to damage his reputation.

He stated that he had never met or held discussions with Isah anywhere, not to talk of visiting any location or having any involvement with thugs.

He said, “Wow… how can someone lie with so much confidence? An attempt to defame my character. May God be with you, Comrade Atiku Isah.

“I have never held a meeting to discuss any subject matter with Comrade Isah in Lagos or anywhere else in the world. I have never knowingly met him before, nor did I visit any location with thugs.

“All these allegations made by Atiku Isah are completely fictional.”
