Controversial Nigerian content creator, DJ Chicken, whose real name is Ademola Abiodun, has been released from detention after meeting his bail conditions.
His lawyer, Rotimi Stephen, confirmed the development in an Instagram Story on Tuesday, posting a brief message that read, “All glory to God. DJ Chicken”
Human rights activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, also announced the content creator’s release in a post on X.
“DJ Chicken (real name Ademola Abiodun) is free and reunited with his family, friends, and loved ones.
“No one should suffer oppression while the rest of us watch in silence, especially at the hands of powerful and corrupt forces.
“An injury to one is an injury to all. We will continue to stand up for the weak and fight against injustice wherever it occurs,” Sowore wrote.
A livestream shared on Instagram shortly after his release showed DJ Chicken inside a vehicle, smiling and interacting with followers.
