Popular Nigerian content creator Peller has shared his reaction to the ongoing legal battle involving controversial TikTok personality DJ Chicken, saying he witnessed the moment the livestreamer was taken to the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after his court appearance.
Peller recalls seeing DJ Chicken after remand
In a video making the rounds on social media, Peller revealed that he was present when DJ Chicken, whose real name is Ademola, was remanded following his arraignment before an Ikeja Magistrate Court.
According to him, the energetic personality many people know from livestreams appeared quiet and subdued during the experience.
“I was there when DJ Chicken was sent to Kirikiri prison. He was humble. All his fans and people on his livestream were not there. He went to face the reality alone,” Peller said.
He added that the incident served as a reminder that internet popularity cannot shield anyone from the consequences of their actions.
“They said we’re idiots, not celebrities. Everybody will be pushing you online but you’ll suffer alone,” he added.
Allegations against DJ Chicken
DJ Chicken is currently facing trial over allegations of threatening the life of Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
The prosecution accused the social media personality of making threats, publishing offensive content online and engaging in conduct capable of causing a breach of public peace.
Police told the court that the alleged offences occurred in the Lekki area of Lagos on July 5.
Despite the allegations, DJ Chicken pleaded not guilty to all three charges filed against him.
Court approves bail with strict requirements
Following the hearing, the magistrate granted DJ Chicken bail in the sum of ₦1 million.
However, the court imposed several conditions before the bail can be perfected.
One of the sureties must be a blood relative who bears the defendant’s surname, while the second must be either a recognised community leader or a member of the clergy.
In addition, both sureties are required to present evidence of three years’ tax payments and complete verification by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
Case adjourned until August
The court subsequently adjourned the matter until August 3 for further hearing.
