President Bola Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu, has accused the President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Atiku Abubakar Isah, of defamation.

This was after Isah alleged that he was beaten to stupor by some thugs whom he linked to Seyi Tinubu.

He said the incident happened because he refused N100 million bribe to help influence President Tinubu's ambition.

He explained that the incident happened after he was invited to Lagos to meet with Seyi Tinubu and the Minister of Youth Development (Ayodele Olawande).

Upon meeting, he said, "The Minister for Youth, when he saw me, hugged me in Lagos. We talked, and I was to be offered N100 million. But the thing is, it's not all about money. There are things which I stand for.

“You cannot ask me to begin to promote a president who has not done something for me to say he has done it. If he does something good, I will promote him. We will support him as the president and commander-in-chief. But where he is, you cannot say I should keep quiet."

He further stated that his abduction was planned when he rejected the bribe.

"I was abducted on the 15th of April. I was stripped naked, beaten seriously in collaboration with the MD of NTA. The MD of NTA was our package to make an involuntary statement that I have renounced my position as NANS president. I did that to gain my freedom, but immediately, I released a press statement that I was forced under duress. Because I was naked, I was beaten. They claimed they would share the video," Isah explained.

He continued, "They told me that nothing would happen if they shared the video, and even if they killed me, Seyi Tinubu would order a cover-up. Ladoja, who was involved, said he would instruct the Inspector General of Police to cover it up and that if the police didn't comply, he would go."

Isah added that despite the threats, he remained determined.

"I made it clear that even if I am shot, I will still come to this hall. The inauguration proceeded, and I was announced as president. I want Nigerians to know what has happened and that we will not give up. Seyi Tinubu can do anything he wants, but we are determined,” he said.Nigerian

Reacting, Seyi Tinubu shared a social media post describing the NANS president's claim as lies.

He said, "Wow... how can someone lie with so much confidence...?? Wow wow.... An attempt to D fame my character. May God be with you. Comrade Atiku Isah."
