DJ Chicken, a Nigerian social media personality and entertainer, has been arrested over remarks he allegedly made about Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. His lawyer confirmed the arrest in a video appeal, stating that DJ Chicken was taken into custody at Ikeja Police Headquarters in Lagos State. The lawyer believes the Department of State Services (DSS) is now holding him in connection with the comments made several days prior. He described the situation as dire, admitting he did not know how to proceed despite his ongoing efforts to support the entertainer.
The lawyer made an emotional plea for intervention, urging fans, associates of the President's son, and influential individuals to help secure DJ Chicken's release. He said, "Please forgive Chicken. It's not okay like that." He referred to DJ Chicken as his personal rehabilitation project, explaining that as a criminal lawyer, he had taken a deliberate interest in guiding him. "Chicken is my own personal project. It's my own part of giving back to society," he said, acknowledging that the entertainer had "fucked up" but remained part of society. He added that evidence of the comments exists and that he was resorting to public appeals out of desperation.
He called on anyone with access to Seyi Tinubu or government officials to intervene, saying, "Now, everybody that I know that is close to Seyi Tinubu, I will start calling them now. Please, we have to beg." The lawyer reiterated his plea multiple times, emphasizing the need for forgiveness and mercy from those in power.
The lawyer claims DJ Chicken is his personal rehabilitation project yet admits the entertainer made incriminating statements that are now evidence in the case. He is appealing to connections with Seyi Tinubu and government officials to intervene, suggesting access to power may determine the outcome. This places the resolution of the matter not on legal process but on influence and personal appeals. For DJ Chicken, consequences now depend on who one knows, not what the law provides.
