The footage quickly drew mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
This development comes shortly after the singer faced heavy criticism for her comments on the recent Oye state abduction involving schoolchildren.
Legit.ng reported that Yinka addressed the issue during an Instagram Live session on Monday, June 1, 2026, while discussing the worsening security concerns in parts of the country.
Her comments came amid public outrage over the kidnapping of 47 pupils and seven teachers from a school in Orire Local Government Area of Oyo state on May 15.
While many Nigerians have continued to demand stronger action from the government and security agencies, Alaseyori urged citizens not to overlook the role of prayer.
According to her, security operatives may be working tirelessly but still encounter unseen spiritual obstacles during rescue operations.
Speaking during the live session, the gospel minister insisted that the country's armed forces and President Bola Tinubu should not be accused of doing nothing.
She argued that security agencies may sometimes be unable to locate criminals despite their efforts.
She stated:
“We need to pray. You can’t say the President and our armed forces are not working, they’re working. They might have sent security agents to the forest and something will just cover their eyes and won’t allow them see the terrorist, that’s where prayers come in.”
The statement immediately became a talking point across social media platforms.
The dance video reignited debates around her earlier remarks.

"You know, I have often been of the opinion that the political class and the religious class are working hand in hand to keep the Nigerian masses enslaved. Until the average Nigerian understands that these classes are not necessarily there for you, this country will struggle to get fixed.
"For someone saying Nigeria should pray so that her prayers can rescue the abducted schoolchildren in Oyo State, how quickly has she forgotten the Chibok girls? Over 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped back in 2014/2015. How many of her prayers and the prayers of our countless religious leaders brought those children back? How many? Nigeria prayed. Churches prayed. Religious leaders prayed. Did prayer alone solve it? These are difficult questions many people avoid asking. But until Nigerians start questioning both political power and religious authority, this country may continue moving in circles."
