The Edo state government reportedly briefly sealed an event centre, Mega Hub, after a performance by rapper Eedris Abdulkareem, where he openly criticised President Bola Tinubu.

A viral video showed the veteran rapper mocking the president’s visit to Plateau State, alleging he failed to reach affected communities after a deadly attack.
Premium Times reported that days later, officials sealed the venue, with footage showing the premises barricaded and marked “Sealed by EDSG 7/4/26.”
The move sparked speculation online, with some linking the Edo government's move directly to the rapper’s remarks.
However, Edo Commissioner for Information, Kassim Afegbua, denied any political motive.

He said the action was based on “security intelligence” and had nothing to do with criticism of the president.
“It was sealed because of a security issue. It has nothing to do with anybody criticising him,” he stated.
Afegbua later confirmed the facility had been reopened.

He said the issue started after dropping the Open Letter to Donald Trump, and checks showed the accounts were no longer accessible without any explanation from Meta.
The song, released in November 2025, focused on corruption, insecurity, and leadership issues in Nigeria, continuing his long history of speaking on national matters.
