The Presidency has debunked a viral video claiming that a chef attached to the Presidential Villa, has been arrested for poisoning President Bola Tinubu.
The video also alleged that a special police squad was deployed, leading to tightened security around the presidential environment.
According to the circulating report, the supposed arrest stemmed from what it described as credible threats to the President’s safety, prompting a coordinated investigation by security personnel tasked with protecting national leadership.
The content also suggested that the unnamed kitchen staff was taken into custody for questioning while authorities examined evidence related to the alleged poisoning attempt.
But Presidency has debunked the claims.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described the video as “fake news,” stressing that the story was entirely fabricated and should be disregarded.
