Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has denied allegations that he abducted and tortured the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah.
Isah had on Wednesday alleged during a press conference that Seyi Tinubu and the Minister of Youth, Ayodele Olawande, offered him a N100 million bribe to promote President Tinubu’s image, which he claimed to have rejected.
He further alleged that his refusal led to his abduction and torture.
“I was abducted on April 15, stripped naked, and severely beaten with the involvement of the MD of NTA
“I was forced to release a statement under duress. They threatened to release the video and claimed Seyi Tinubu could cover up anything, even murder. One Ladoja also said he could order the IGP to suppress the case.”
Despite the ordeal, Isah said he proceeded with the NANS inauguration and was formally announced as president.
Reacting to the claims on Friday via his verified Instagram account, Seyi Tinubu described the allegations as false and defamatory.
“Wow… how can someone lie with so much confidence? An attempt to defame my character. May God be with you, Comrade Atiku Isah,” he wrote.
In another post, he added, “I have never held any meeting with Comrade Isah in Lagos or anywhere else in the world. I have never knowingly met him. I did not visit any location with thugs. These allegations are entirely fictional.”
