Nigerian social commentator and activist, VeryDarkMan, has shared his thoughts on the reported arrest of controversial skit maker and social media personality DJ Chicken, questioning whether the action was necessary while also acknowledging the reason behind the authorities’ decision.
In a recent statement, VeryDarkMan expressed surprise over the situation, arguing that DJ Chicken was not the kind of person many expected to face such legal action.
“Whoever arrested DJ Chicken is just wasting his time. Of all the people to arrest, DJ Chicken?” he said.
However, the activist noted that he understood why action was taken against the entertainer, stressing that allowing threatening statements to go unchecked could encourage others to make similar remarks in the future.
He added that if authorities ignored the matter, it could set a precedent where other individuals might feel free to make dangerous statements without consequences.
“However, I understand why they arrested him because if they give him a free pass, another person will come tomorrow and say he will unalive someone,” VeryDarkMan stated.
The controversy surrounding DJ Chicken reportedly began after comments he made sparked public concern, leading to discussions about accountability for statements made by public figures on social media.
VeryDarkMan’s reaction has since generated mixed opinions among Nigerians, with some agreeing that online threats should be taken seriously, while others believe the situation may have received more attention than necessary.
