The controversy surrounding detained TikTok personality DJ Chicken has taken a fresh turn after his associate and fellow content creator, Porkiyor, reacted to Omoyele Sowore's offer to provide legal assistance. Sowore had earlier urged DJ Chicken's family to contact him, saying he was willing to take up the TikToker's case following his remand over alleged threats against Seyi Tinubu.
Porkiyor Rejects Sowore's Offer
In a viral video, Porkiyor made it clear that the family was not interested in pursuing a legal fight through Sowore. According to him, DJ Chicken was wrong to allegedly threaten another person's life and should take responsibility for his actions. Instead of seeking legal representation, Porkiyor said the family's priority is appealing directly to Seyi Tinubu for mercy. "We are begging Seyi Tinubu to release him, not looking for a case," he said.
