Controversial TikTok personality, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, has regained his freedom after fulfilling the bail conditions imposed by a Lagos Magistrate’s Court.

The entertainer was released on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, days after he was arraigned over allegations that he threatened the life of Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.

DJ Chicken had been brought before Magistrate M.F. Onamusi at the Magistrate’s Court in Ogba, Lagos, over a viral social media video in which he made comments concerning the forthcoming 2027 presidential election.

The social media personality was arraigned 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.

According to the prosecution, the charges stemmed from a video DJ Chicken posted across his social media platforms while discussing the 2027 presidential election.

Authorities alleged that some of the comments in the video contained threats directed at Seyi Tinubu and amounted to offences under Nigerian law.

His release was confirmed on Tuesday by presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, who said the entertainer had been reunited with his family, friends and supporters.

Sowore, who has repeatedly criticised what he describes as the misuse of state power against citizens, said Nigerians should not remain silent in the face of oppression.

“DJ Chicken is free and reunited with his family, friends, and loved ones,” Sowore said.

“No one should suffer oppression while the rest of us watch in silence. An injury to one is an injury to all. We will continue to stand against oppression for the weak!”
