Controversial disc jockey and TikTok personality, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, was on Friday arraigned before a Magistrate’s Court in Ogba, Lagos, over allegations of threatening the life of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

DJ Chicken was arraigned before Magistrate M.F. Onamusi on a three-count charge bordering on alleged threat to kill, conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace, and offences under the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015.

The case stemmed from a video the content creator posted on his social media platforms while commenting on the 2027 presidential election.

In the viral video, DJ Chicken, speaking in Yoruba, said: “Tinubu, you can’t win the election. If you win, I will kill Seyi Tinubu. I won’t say more than that.”
