The immediate past governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted as Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, denied allegations by NANS President Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah that he led armed men to disrupt the student body’s inauguration and threatened his life.

In a post shared on his X page on Thursday, May 1, El-Rufai urged relevant authorities to take action on the alleged brutal attack.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Isah had claimed in an interview with SaharaReporters that Tinubu's son led armed individuals to The Wells Carlton Hotel in Asokoro, Abuja, during the NANS inauguration ceremony, locked down the premises, and even positioned himself outside Isah’s hotel room with the intent to kill.

Reacting, Seyi Tinubu described the claims as false and defamatory, stating there was no truth to the report.

Sources at the event and the hotel confirmed no security breach, while Seyi Tinubu’s camp hinted at possible legal action if the defamation continues.
