She went further to reveal the painful reality behind her desperation, disclosing that the two siblings have no parental support to fall back on.

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.

A threat to someone’s life has legal implications
According to Kehnide Ajose, a visibility expert and journalist, while freedom of expression is important, comes with responsibility. He stressed that words shared, especially on platforms with millions of eyes watching, could carry consequences.
"A threat to someone’s life has legal implications, whether the person involved is the President’s son or an ordinary Nigerian citizen. The law does not become relevant because of status; it responds to the seriousness of the action," he said.
Sowore defends DJ Chicken
