In recent developments, serious allegations have emerged involving a faction of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) reportedly aligned with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. These claims include threats against activists, abduction, and assault, raising concerns about the integrity of student leadership and political interference.
Comrade Atiku Isah Abubakar, who identifies as a factional president of NANS, alleges that he was abducted and assaulted after refusing a ₦100 million bribe purportedly offered by Seyi Tinubu and the Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, to support the Tinubu administration. Isah claims that following his refusal, he was stripped, beaten, and coerced into silence.
Further reports suggest that during a NANS inauguration event in Abuja, thugs allegedly linked to Seyi Tinubu disrupted the proceedings, attacking attendees, including former governors Ibrahim Shekarau and Idris Wada. The attackers reportedly wielded weapons, causing injuries and chaos.
Additionally, sources indicate plans by the pro-Seyi Tinubu NANS faction to target activists Omoyele Sowore and social media influencer VeryDarkMan, allegedly in retaliation for their criticism of the administration. These plans reportedly involve coordination with operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS).
Seyi Tinubu has publicly denied these allegations, labeling them as false and defamatory. He asserts that he has never met Comrade Isah and has no involvement in NANS affairs.
The situation has elicited reactions from various quarters. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on President Tinubu to address the allegations against his son, emphasizing the importance of upholding democratic principles.
As investigations continue, these allegations underscore the need for transparency and accountability within student organizations and the broader political landscape.
