Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni, has urged the Inspector General of Police to remove the officers assigned to protect President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu.

This call came after an accusation that Seyi was moving around with a large security detail.

Soyinka, in a video circulating on X, expressed his surprise upon encountering what he described as a small battalion of heavily armed security personnel guarding Seyi during a visit to a hotel in Ikoyi, Lagos.
