A social media post shared by content creator and comedian Nasboi has drawn criticism from a presidential aide. Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Social Media, condemns Nasboi for sharing a video that he describes as unrelated to Nigeria and therefore misleading. According to the aide, the clip is intended to spread fear and is “fake.” Both outlets report that Olusegun’s comments centre on the authenticity and relevance of the footage, suggesting it should not be presented as evidence of terrorism in Nigeria.
The reports present the dispute as one over the accuracy of the viral content and the impact such posts may have on public perception. Neither outlet provides additional details about the video’s origin, who originally filmed it, or any formal verification process. The criticism nevertheless indicates that the presidency is urging more caution in how terrorism-related materials are shared on social platforms.
