Not Our Senator!’ – National Assembly Reacts To Viral Office Kiss Footage

The Nigerian Senate has dismissed claims that a viral video showing a man kissing a woman in an office involves a current serving senator.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, clarified that the man seen in the video is not Zamfara North Senator, Sahabi Alhaji Yau, as widely speculated online. He also refuted allegations that the scene took place inside any Senate office within the National Assembly complex.

Speaking to Sahara Reporters, Adaramodu emphasized, “The individual in the video is not a sitting senator. That video has been circulating for four to five years now. I recall seeing it even before joining the Senate, during my time in the House of Representatives.”

He further pointed out discrepancies in the setting, noting, “The room shown in the footage doesn’t resemble any Senate office. Our office architecture doesn’t match what’s seen in that clip. I can personally take you through ten Senate offices for comparison—none look like that.”

Adaramodu concluded that the viral claims are baseless, reaffirming: “That man is not one of our senators, and the location is definitely not part of the Nigerian Senate.”
