Video of Seyi Tinubu’s Heavy Security Convoy Goes Viral After Soyinka’s Comments
- A new video showing Seyi Tinubu moving with a long line of armed security personnel is trending online
- The clip emerged shortly after Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka questioned the scale of Seyi’s security detail at a Lagos hotel
- Nigerians online debated whether the president’s son truly needs such a heavy security presence
A rare clip showing Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, moving with an unusually large convoy of armed security operatives surfaced online on Wednesday on December 10.
The short video, which began circulating just hours after Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka publicly expressed concerns over the number of security personnel attached to Seyi, has quickly grabbed public attention.
Speaking at the 20th Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) Awards in Lagos, Soyinka narrated his recent encounter at a hotel in Ikoyi.

According to him, he was taken aback by the sheer number of armed escorts surrounding Seyi Tinubu.
He described the deployment as “disturbing,” adding that the number of operatives he observed was enough to quell an uprising in a neighbouring country.
Not long after his speech, a video showing Seyi Tinubu flanked by a long line of security SUVs and escorts began trending on major social platforms.
The timing left many Nigerians wondering whether the viral clip was coincidental or a subtle confirmation of Soyinka’s claims.
