“PAY ME N100M OR I’LL ACCUSE YOU OF RAPE”: SEYI TINUBU’S BODYGUARD ALLEGES JARUMA’S EXTORTION THREAT

A bodyguard attached to Seyi Tinubu, Olawale Dare, has alleged that controversial social media personality Hauwa Saidu Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, threatened to expose their sexual encounter and accuse him of rape unless he paid her ₦100 million.

The allegation is contained in a statement Dare recorded with the Nigeria Police Force’s National Cybercrime Centre on October 8, 2026, and obtained exclusively by SaharaReporters, ValidViewNetwork reports.

THE ALLEGATION

In the statement, Dare, who said he had worked with Seyi Tinubu since 2022, alleged that he met Jaruma at a lounge in Abuja in November or December 2025 through a mutual friend identified as Faizal .

He alleged that they went to his house after meeting and had sex.

According to him, Jaruma disclosed her identity as the “Kayanmata” seller the following morning and asked him to invest in her business .

Dare told the police that Jaruma requested between ₦100 million and ₦200 million, allegedly promising to return as much as ₦700 million. He said he declined the proposal because he did not have the money .

THE THREAT

According to his statement, the relationship deteriorated after the encounter. Dare alleged that Jaruma subsequently told him that she had a spiritual problem and asked him to refer her to an herbalist or an Islamic cleric.

He said he could not provide such a contact but suggested a Celestial Church that offered counselling.

He added that Jaruma later told him her ATM card was not working and requested cash, prompting him to give her between ₦30,000 and ₦40,000 .

In his statement, Dare told the police that Jaruma threatened to inform his employer, Seyi Tinubu, about their sexual encounter and demanded ₦100 million.

“That she is going to inform my boss about what we had together and I must pay her 100 million naira,” Dare wrote in his statement .

Dare further alleged that Jaruma threatened to accuse him of rape and claimed she had evidence from 12 women who would testify against him .

He told the police that he did not understand why she wanted to inform his employer about their encounter.

Dare also said he did not initially report the alleged threats to the police because his friends advised him to ignore the matter. He stated that he believed reporting Jaruma could give her publicity, particularly because she had not yet published the videos he said she threatened to release .

THE DENIAL

Dare denied conspiring with anyone to cyberstalk Rayan Ghassan Kamal, an Abuja businesswoman and Seyi Tinubu’s Personal Assistant, whose complaint against Jaruma led to a separate police investigation .

In several posts, Jaruma reportedly alleged that Kamal had been in a relationship with Seyi Tinubu for three years and that he had opened a business for her, among other claims .

In his statement, Dare said he knew Kamal through his work with Seyi Tinubu and described their relationship as that of colleagues.

He denied giving Jaruma Kamal’s personal information or conspiring with her against the businesswoman .

“No, I did not conspire with anyone to cyberstalk her,” he stated .He added that he had blocked Jaruma after their first encounter and was willing to provide evidence of what he described as her cyberstalking of him .

THE SEPARATE CASE

Jaruma was subsequently charged with two counts of cyberstalking over alleged TikTok publications targeting Kamal and her employer, Seyi Tinubu, according to a charge sheet dated October 23, 2026.

The charge sheet does not list Dare as a defendant in the case. The allegations in Dare’s statement concerning the ₦100 million demand, the threatened rape accusation and their sexual encounter are separate from the two cyberstalking counts detailed in the charge sheet.

ValidViewNetwork had earlier reported that Jaruma had been in police custody since Monday over social media posts related to a dispute involving Seyi Tinubu and Kamal, whom she identified as his girlfriend.

Documents obtained from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja indicated that Jaruma was granted administrative bail under conditions that reportedly proved difficult to meet .

WHY IT MATTERS

The allegations in Dare’s statement add a new and troubling dimension to a case that has already drawn significant public attention.

If Dare’s account is accurate, Jaruma did not merely post about Seyi Tinubu’s personal life.

She allegedly attempted to extort ₦100 million from his bodyguard by threatening to accuse him of rape—a threat that, if carried out, could have destroyed his life and career.

The statement also complicates the narrative around Jaruma’s detention. She is being held on cyberstalking charges related to Kamal, not on the extortion allegations raised by Dare.

Whether the police will investigate the extortion claims, and whether they will form part of the case against her, remains to be seen.

Jaruma has not responded publicly to Dare’s allegations. She is expected to be arraigned on Monday. The allegations remain unproven, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But for now, the police have a statement from Seyi Tinubu’s bodyguard that paints a picture of a woman who, when her business proposal was rejected, turned to threats and blackmail. The truth will be determined in court. ValidViewNetwork reports.
