ABUJA – X, formerly known as Twitter, is ablaze with controversy after President Bola Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, was accused of involvement in the arson of a GTBank branch in Abuja. The accusations stem from a resurfaced post he made in 2012, threatening to set fire to a GTBank branch.
In the now-viral post, Olusegun wrote, “I will burn up a GTB bank branch one day! Dis nonsense is getting too much.” This message has resurfaced and gained traction after a GTBank branch was set on fire in 2023.
An X user with the screen name Harry, handle @chiditweets042, shared a screenshot of Olusegun’s post alongside an image of the burnt GTBank branch. Harry captioned it, “Who burnt GTBank in Abuja in 2023? Did it take @DOlusegun to hatch his plan? Chisos! Chisos.”
