Nigerian social media personality Kolu has publicly appealed to President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, to intervene in the DJ Chicken arrest, calling for the release of the controversial internet figure.
According to reports monitored by Valid9ja, Kolu argued that DJ Chicken is widely known for his unusual behaviour and claimed that many people consider him mentally unstable. In a viral statement circulating on social media, Kolu questioned the reason behind the reported arrest and urged the authorities to show compassion.
He said, “Please release DJ Chicken. Everyone knows he is mad. Government and Tinubu, what do you want to use DJ Chicken to do? You carry police arrest person who don mad. Even Carter Efe and Davido cannot arrest DJ Chicken because they know he is mad.”
The statement has since generated mixed reactions across social media platforms, with supporters and critics expressing differing opinions on the matter.
Public Reactions to the DJ Chicken Arrest
The DJ Chicken arrest has become a trending topic online, with many users debating whether the social media personality should face legal consequences or receive medical attention if concerns about his mental health are genuine.
Valid9ja gathered that while some commenters agreed with Kolu’s appeal, others argued that mental health claims should not automatically exempt anyone from accountability if they violate the law.
Several users also urged the authorities to handle the situation professionally by ensuring that any investigation follows due process and respects the individual’s legal rights.
Growing Conversation Around Mental Health
The incident has also sparked renewed conversations about mental health awareness in Nigeria.
Information obtained by Valid9ja shows that advocates continue to encourage the public to avoid making assumptions about a person’s mental condition without proper medical evaluation.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health conditions should be assessed and managed by qualified healthcare professionals, while affected individuals deserve dignity, care, and protection of their rights.

Authorities Yet to Issue Official Statement
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the Nigeria Police Force or the Presidency confirming the circumstances surrounding the reported arrest or responding to Kolu’s appeal.
Similarly, neither President Bola Tinubu nor Seyi Tinubu has publicly commented on the viral remarks.
Observers say official clarification will help address the growing speculation surrounding the incident and provide accurate information about the case.
