Police in Nigeria arrest and arraign controversial social media personality and DJ Chicken (Ademola Abiodun) over alleged threats to kill President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu. Multiple outlets report that the case follows a viral video in which DJ Chicken comments that Seyi Tinubu would be killed if Tinubu’s side wins the 2027 election. According to the accounts cited, the remarks are made in Yoruba and are linked to DJ Chicken’s online postings, including content shared on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
Police bring DJ Chicken before courts in Lagos State, where he faces several charges connected to the alleged threat and related conduct. Outlets also report that he is remanded at Kirikiri Correctional Centre pending court action. At least one report states that the magistrate records DJ Chicken’s plea and grants bail. Another report says DJ Chicken’s lawyer claims the arrest involves the police and possible participation by the Department of State Services (DSS), though official confirmation is not described in all coverage.
