Nasboi, a content creator, is criticized by Tinubu’s assistant for a “fake” terrorist video.

Dada Olusegun, President Bola Tinubu’s special assistant on social media, has attacked comedian and content creator Nasboi over a video he posted online, accusing him of inciting fear with what he called deceptive footage.

Olusegun claimed in a post on his X handle on Tuesday that the video Nasboi shared came from a page that claimed the people in it were terrorists from the Republic of Benin rather than Nigeria.

The presidential aide claimed that the video had nothing to do with Nigeria and shouldn’t have been shown in a way that could have alarmed the public.

“You cannot continue to purposefully use your page to spread fear @iamnasboi for whatever reason you might think you have,” Olusegun wrote.

Olusegun wrote, “You cannot continue to intentionally use your page to spread fear @iamnasboi for whatever reason you might think you have.”

The video, which Nasboi shared earlier on Tuesday with the caption, “PRESIDENT @officialABAT,” depicts armed men on motorcycles carrying out a raid in a dusty rural area.

Although similar videos of their activities have previously been released by terrorist organizations operating in North-East Nigeria and throughout the Sahel, PUNCH Online was unable to independently confirm whether this specific footage came from Nigeria.

According to recent reports, an attack on Beninese army barracks in the Koalou-Kourou area near the Burkina Faso border on or around May 25 was claimed by Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), a group affiliated with al-Qaeda.

The militants claimed to have killed multiple soldiers and taken weapons and equipment in the video they released of the attack.
