Nigerian singer Skales has sparked massive controversy online after launching a furious verbal attack on former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad over comments linked to the deadly Palm Sunday attack in Jos.
The clash began after Bashir Ahmad called for security agencies to investigate a US missionary, Alex Barbir, who criticized President Bola Tinubu following the tragic attack that reportedly left about 25 people dead.
In his post, Bashir warned against individuals he believed were attempting to incite chaos in Nigeria, stressing the need for national security agencies to act decisively.
However, Skales strongly disagreed with his stance and responded with a series of emotional and highly charged posts, accusing Bashir of being insensitive to the victims of violence in the country.
The singer went further, describing him in harsh terms and accusing him — along with the previous administration he referenced — of contributing to Nigeria’s ongoing insecurity challenges.
Skales argued that what should matter most is the loss of innocent lives, not political defense or deflection. His comments reflected deep frustration over what he sees as repeated failures to address insecurity.
The exchange quickly went viral, dividing opinions across social media. While some users supported Skales’ emotional response, others criticized the tone and intensity of his remarks, urging more respectful discourse even during national tragedies.
The controversy has once again highlighted the tension between public figures, political commentators, and celebrities in Nigeria’s increasingly heated online space.
As of now, Bashir Ahmad has not issued a direct response to Skales’ latest outburst, leaving the debate ongoing and highly charged.
