President Bola Tinubu’s convoy in Abuja becomes the subject of dispute after a video circulated online showing youths throwing stones at what many believed was the president’s motorcade following Friday prayers.
According to several outlets, Presidential aide O’tega Ogra denies the attack occurred and says there was no incident involving Tinubu’s convoy. Ogra is reported to have disputed the viral claim, while framing the matter as part of a wider political contest ahead of the 2027 general election. Nigerian Eye adds that Ogra shared footage of Tinubu leaving Shagari Central Mosque, showing the president entering his official vehicle as youths hail him. It also reports that Dino Melaye posted the stone-throwing clip, including chants described as “Ba ma yi, ba ma so.”
Other outlets largely repeat the same core facts: the viral video alleges convoy stoning on 13 November after Juma’at prayers in Abuja, and the Presidency counters that no attack hit Tinubu. Overall, coverage is aligned on the denial by Ogra and the existence of the circulating video, with emphasis differing between presenting the allegation first or leading with the official rebuttal.
