However, it was DJ Chicken’s first account of his time behind bars that caught attention.
‘I couldn’t sleep for 12 days’ – DJ Chicken
Speaking about his experience, the content creator claimed he was unable to sleep throughout his 12-day detention.
“I couldn’t sleep for the entire 12 days. My prison mates were scared of me because they thought I was going to do something bad to them,” he said.
He then summed up his experience in one sentence:
“There’s nothing like freedom.”
DJ Chicken was remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre after being arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Lagos State.
He faced a three-count charge bordering on alleged cybercrime violations, breach of peace and threats to kill Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.
The charges followed a viral video in which he claimed President Tinubu would not win the 2027 election.
Although he later apologised and described the statement as a joke meant to gain attention, he was arrested and arraigned.

“I want to help get DJ Chicken out of prison because I do not believe he deserves to spend a day behind bars; he is entitled to his liberty under the law,” Sowore wrote.
