Sister Pleads for DJ Chicken's Freedom
Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, remains in custody at Kirikiri Correctional Centre in Lagos after being arraigned over alleged threats against Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. Now, his elder sister has broken her silence in a tearful video appeal, begging fans and associates to intervene.
In the video shared on Instagram on 14 July 2026 by content creator Temilola Sobola, the visibly distressed woman directed her plea at content creator Tunde Perry and the DJ's fanbase. "Please, Tunde Perry, I've heard a lot about you. Please help me support him. To all his fans, please help me support him. Don't let him go to jail," she said.
Orphans with No One to Turn To
The sister revealed the painful reality behind her desperation, disclosing that the siblings have no parental support. "I'm his elder sister. We're orphans, and we have no one. Please forgive him. I beg on his behalf," she added.
DJ Chicken was arrested after posting a video on social media declaring that President Bola Tinubu would not win re-election in 2027. He was subsequently arraigned before a Lagos magistrate's court on charges of threatening Seyi Tinubu and remanded at Kirikiri.

In a social media post, Sowore called on anyone with access to the DJ's family to contact him, stating he was willing to challenge the charges. "I want to help get DJ Chicken out of prison because I do not believe he deserves to spend a day behind bars; he is entitled to his liberty under the law," Sowore wrote.
