DJ Chicken Reportedly Arrested Over Comments Against Seyi Tinubu

Nigerian social media personality and entertainer, DJ Chicken, has reportedly been arrested by security operatives over comments he allegedly made about Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.

According to his lawyer, DJ Chicken was arrested at the Ikeja Police Headquarters in Lagos State and is currently being held by security authorities.

The lawyer made the disclosure in a video, where he appealed to the authorities to forgive and release his client.

He said, “So, the Chicken is now with the authorities. He was arrested at Ikeja Police Headquarters. But I’m very sure it is the DSS.

“And he was arrested in connection with the statement he made some days ago about the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu.”

The lawyer also appealed to fans, associates of Seyi Tinubu, and influential Nigerians to help intervene in the matter.

He said, “But please, fans and well-wishers, people that like Chicken, people that are close to the President, please help us to beg.

“Because I don’t even know what to do now. The evidence is there. At this point, I’m begging you.

“Please forgive Chicken. It’s not okay like that.”

Describing DJ Chicken as someone he had been trying to help, the lawyer said the entertainer was his personal rehabilitation project despite his repeated controversies.

He stated, “In fact, Chicken is my own personal project. It’s my own part of giving back to society. I just picked up an interest in him. As a criminal lawyer, that’s why I picked Chicken.

“Like, okay, let me just see what I can do. We are just managing him. I’m just trying to… he’s still part of society. He has fucked up.”

The lawyer further appealed to anyone with access to Seyi Tinubu or senior government officials to help secure DJ Chicken’s release.

He added, “But please, we are begging. Please. If you can see this video, and you are a Chicken’s fan, and you know someone who knows someone, whether he’s in government, whether he’s close to the President…

“Now, everybody that I know that is close to Seyi Tinubu, I will start calling them now. Please, we have to beg. The government should please forgive him.

“We will do everything. They should please… Please.”
