Controversial Nigerian content creator DJ Chicken has received a stern warning from his lawyer following his release from detention. DJ Chicken, whose real name is Ademola Abiodun, regained his freedom on Tuesday, July 21, after meeting his bail conditions. However, his lawyer, Rotimi Stephen, was quick to remind him that his legal troubles are far from over.
Lawyer's Two Key Instructions
In a now-viral video, Stephen told the content creator not to discuss the case publicly because the matter is still before the court. The lawyer also issued another warning that could have serious consequences if ignored. Stephen reportedly instructed DJ Chicken to make himself available whenever he is required to appear in court. He warned the content creator not to jump bail and urged him to attend every scheduled hearing. DJ Chicken, who listened to the instructions, promised to abide by the warnings.
Background of the Case
The content creator was earlier arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting in the Ogba area of Lagos State over an alleged threat to kill Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu. The case followed a viral video that led to his arrest and detention. Although DJ Chicken has now regained his freedom, his lawyer's warnings suggest that his legal battle is still ongoing.
