Stop Spreading Fear – Tinubu Aide Slams Nasboi Over Viral Terrorist Video
Presidential aide faults comedian for sharing footage allegedly linked to terrorists, says video was misrepresented and not from Nigeria
Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has criticised comedian Nasboi over a viral video he shared online, accusing him of spreading fear with footage allegedly misrepresented as a Nigerian security incident.
The Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has called out popular content creator and comedian Nasboi over a video he posted on social media, accusing him of circulating misleading content that could incite public fear.
In a post shared on his X handle on Tuesday, Olusegun claimed that the footage shared by Nasboi was originally taken from another social media account that described the armed men in the clip as terrorists operating in Benin Republic, not Nigeria.
He argued that the video had no connection to Nigeria and should not have been framed in a way that could cause panic among citizens.
According to him, the comedian’s large online influence comes with responsibility, warning that such posts could deepen fear and misinformation.
“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!”
However, the presidential aide did not provide independent verification of the original source of the video or confirm when it was recorded.
