A viral report alleging that a kitchen staff member at the State House was arrested for attempting to poison President Bola Tinubu has been dismissed as false by the Presidency.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, refuted the claim in a post on his verified X handle, saying, “No Aso Rock kitchen staff arrested. No Aso Rock kitchen staff attempted to poison President Tinubu. Please ignore this fake news being disseminated by a video.”
The rebuttals followed the circulation of a video and accompanying online reports alleging that an unnamed chef attached to the Presidential Villa in Abuja had been apprehended over a purported plot to poison the President.
The report did not cite any credible source or provide verifiable details.
It nonetheless gained traction across social media, sparking speculation and concern in some quarters.
However, the Presidency’s denial dismissed the rumour as baseless and urged members of the public to disregard the misleading content.
