President Bola Tinubu’s convoy reportedly came under attack on Friday as some worshippers and passersby threw stones at the vehicles after prayers at a mosque in Abuja.
The incident occurred at the Shagari Mosque in Area 1, Garki, where members of the crowd chanted “Bamayi”, a Hausa expression meaning “we are not doing”, as the presidential convoy departed the area.
A video obtained by Newsmen showed several people repeatedly shouting the slogan, while some others hurled stones at the convoy, triggering panic among people at the scene.
Security operatives were also seen moving to disperse the crowd following the incident.
The development comes a day after suspected thugs reportedly disrupted a town hall meeting organised by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), which featured the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
However, presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga dismissed reports of the alleged attack when contacted by Newsmen, describing the claim as untrue.
“This is not true,” he reportedly replied in a message.
