Police reportedly detain businesswoman, Jaruma over posts linked to Seyi Tinubu’s alleged girlfriend

Nigerian businesswoman, Hauwa Saidu Mohammed, popularly known as Jaruma, has reportedly been in police custody since Monday over social media posts concerning an alleged disagreement involving Seyi Tinubu and a woman she described as his girlfriend.

According to SaharaReporters, documents obtained from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja show that Jaruma has been granted administrative bail under conditions that have reportedly been difficult to meet.

The bail conditions, dated October 23, require two sureties, including a federal civil servant on Grade Level 15 or above and a business owner with landed property in Abuja.

A charge sheet obtained by the publication also shows that police have filed a two-count case against the social media personality under the Cybercrimes Act.

Prosecutors accused her of using her TikTok account between July and September 2026 to publish abusive messages and allegedly false claims about Rayan Ghassan Kamal, said to be Seyi Tinubu’s personal assistant.

Sources to the publication that the bail conditions were deliberately made difficult to prevent her release before the weekend, although this allegation has not been established.

The report also stated that a bodyguard attached to Seyi Tinubu, who was allegedly linked to information shared with Jaruma, appeared at the Cybercrime Centre on Monday but was not detained.

Jaruma is reportedly expected to be arraigned on Monday.

The charge sheet does not name Seyi Tinubu as the complainant or establish that he personally ordered her detention.
