Popular Nigerian TikToker Seaking has reportedly been apprehended by security agents just hours after releasing a video in which he criticized President Bola Tinubu, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun.
In the video, shared on Saturday, December 20, Seaking voiced his frustration over reports that the police planned to arrest individuals who insult government officials. He questioned why authorities would prioritize cracking down on critics rather than addressing more pressing issues like tackling criminal activities.
The TikToker’s fiery remarks quickly gained traction on social media, drawing both support and criticism. However, a new video surfaced hours later showing Seaking subdued as he was interrogated by security operatives.
The arrest has sparked online debate about freedom of speech and the government’s approach to dissent. Critics argue that such actions suppress free expression, while others believe Seaking’s comments crossed the line of respectful discourse.
As of now, details about his detention and any potential charges remain unclear. Public reactions continue to pour in as Nigerians await official statements from the authorities involved.
