President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was on Friday, November 13, 2026, booed by some worshippers at the Shehu Shagari Central Mosque in Area 1, Garki, Abuja, shortly after observing Juma’at prayers.
Videos circulating on social media showed some youths chanting “Tinubu Must Go” and the Hausa expression “Ba ma yi, ba ma so” as the President’s convoy prepared to leave the mosque.
The incident reportedly followed complaints by some worshippers over security restrictions imposed during the President’s visit.
According to reports, several worshippers who had arrived for the Friday prayers were prevented from entering the mosque after Tinubu’s arrival, while roads leading to the facility were also blocked.
Some worshippers were also reportedly frustrated by restrictions that allegedly prevented them from leaving the mosque premises until the President’s convoy departed.
The situation reportedly sparked anger among some of those present, with a section of the crowd expressing displeasure through chants directed at the President.
Meanwhile, the incident generated further controversy after former lawmaker Dino Melaye shared a video purportedly showing youths throwing objects at a convoy believed to be carrying Tinubu.
However, the Presidency dismissed suggestions that the President’s convoy was attacked, with presidential aide O’tega Ogra sharing another video showing Tinubu waving at some youths as he departed the mosque.
The alleged stoning of the convoy has not been independently established.
