Controversial Nigerian content creator and TikTok personality Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, has been released from detention after fulfilling the bail conditions set by a Lagos Magistrate Court. His lawyer, Rotimi Stephen, confirmed the development on Tuesday, while activist Omoyele Sowore also announced that the social media personality had regained his freedom and reunited with his family.
A livestream shared shortly after his release showed DJ Chicken smiling and interacting with supporters from inside a vehicle alongside his lawyer. He had been remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after pleading not guilty to a three-count charge bordering on alleged violations of the Cybercrimes Act, breach of peace, and making threats to kill following a viral video involving Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
The court had earlier granted DJ Chicken ₦1 million bail with two sureties, including strict conditions requiring one surety to be a civil servant and the other a community leader with landed property in Lagos State. After meeting those conditions, he was released from custody, while the case has been adjourned until August 3, 2026, for further proceedings.
