President Bola Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun has criticised comedian and content producer, Nasiru Bolaji popularly known as Nasboi for a social media video, accusing him of inciting terror with his content.
Olusegun on Tuesday in a post on his X page said that Nasboi’s video was initially obtained from an account that claimed the armed people in the film were terrorists active in Benin.
The presidential aide claimed that the video had nothing to do with Nigeria and shouldn’t have been shown in a way that would have alarmed the population.

Olusegun wrote, “You cannot continue to intentionally use your page to spread fear @iamnasboi for whatever reason you might think you have.
“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!”
He, however, did not provide additional evidence to support his claim or disclose when and where the footage was originally recorded.
Nasboi had earlier shared the video on Tuesday with the caption, “PRESIDENT @officialABAT.”
The footage shows armed men riding motorcycles and carrying out what appears to be a raid in a dusty rural community.
