Why DJ Chicken Was Arrested
DJ Chicken was arraigned before a magistrate's court in Lagos on charges stemming from a video he posted on his social media pages in which he declared that President Bola Tinubu would not win re-election in 2027.
The post led to his arrest on allegations of threatening Seyi Tinubu, the President's son. Following his court appearance, he was remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre.
