Controversial disc jockey and TikTok personality Ademola Abiodun, widely known as DJ Chicken, has been arrested in Ikeja, Lagos, following a viral video in which he made remarks against Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His lawyer, Rotimi Stephen, confirmed the arrest in an online video, stating that the content creator was taken into custody at the Ikeja police headquarters and that operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS) may also be involved.
Lawyer Confirms Arrest and Seeks Help
“So, DJ Chicken is now with the authorities. He was arrested at Ikeja and he is now at Ikeja Police headquarters but I am very sure it is the DSS. He was arrested in connection with the statement he made some days ago about the son of the president, Seyi Tinubu,” Stephen said. He appealed to fans and well-wishers, particularly those with access to the Presidency, to intervene and help secure the DJ’s release.
“Please, fans and well wishers please. People that like Chicken and people that are close with the presidency please forgive Chicken. He is not that okay. We are just managing him. Chicken is my own personal project. It is my own part of giving back to the society. I just picked interest in him as a criminal lawyer. We are just managing him and he knows. He is still part of the society. We are begging please. Government should please forgive him. We will do everything. I don’t know what to do again. They should please,” he said.
Controversial Video Sparks Outrage
DJ Chicken caused a stir online recently after sharing a video in which he said, “Tinubu, you can’t win the election. If you win, I will kill Seyi Tinubu. I won’t say more than that.” The statement has been widely condemned, leading to his arrest and ongoing investigation by authorities.
