Nigerian social media personality and entertainer, DJ Chicken, has reportedly been arrested by security operatives over comments he allegedly made about Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
His lawyer disclosed this in a video in which he made an emotional appeal to the authorities to forgive and release his client.
According to the lawyer, DJ Chicken was arrested at the Ikeja Police Headquarters in Lagos State and is currently in the custody of security authorities.
The lawyer 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 appealed to fans of the entertainer, associates of the president’s son, and influential Nigerians to intervene in the matter.
He further stated, “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.”
The lawyer described DJ Chicken as his personal rehabilitation project, saying he had deliberately taken an interest in helping the controversial entertainer despite his repeated troubles.
“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,” he said.
He further urged anyone with access to Seyi Tinubu or influential government officials to help secure DJ Chicken’s release.
“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,” the lawyer added.
