The video, which spread rapidly across social media, captured Alaseyori in a cheerful mood while interacting with political figures at a public event.
The clip immediately triggered debate online, with many users linking it to her recent remarks on insecurity and the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State.
The development follows backlash over her Instagram Live comments on Monday, June 1, 2026, where she urged Nigerians to intensify prayers and suggested that spiritual intervention remains vital in addressing insecurity challenges.
During the session, she also defended government efforts, including President Bola Tinubu, stating that security agencies are actively working despite limitations on the ground.
Her comments sparked divided reactions at the time, with some Nigerians supporting her faith-based perspective while others criticised it as insensitive to victims of insecurity.
The newly surfaced dance video has now intensified the conversation online, with critics arguing that the timing was inappropriate given the ongoing national tension.
