Man shares hilarious experience of being 'lifted out' of event center for 'yawning over head of Ogun deputy Governor'

Friday, May 30, 2025 - A Nigerian man has gone viral on social media after sharing a humorous account of being unexpectedly lifted out of an event by security personnel for innocently yawning, apparently over the head of the Deputy Governor of Ogun State.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Ayotunde Bello recounted the unusual experience, saying he had attended an event on Sunday when he stretched and yawned with his arms spread wide. Moments later, he found himself gently lifted by two or three men and relocated about seven feet from his original position.

“Guys, apparently they were bodyguards & I yawned over the head of the Deputy Governor of Ogun State,” he wrote, adding laughing emojis to express his disbelief.

Bello also described the surreal moment of being carried, saying he repeatedly asked, “What’s happening?” but was only reassured by the men who kept saying, “Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
