Nigerian comedian and former Big Brother Naija housemate Aderombi Adedayo Martin, popularly known as Dee-One, has confirmed that he has been invited by the Nigeria Police Force for a routine interview, sparking conversations online about free speech and social media commentary.
Dee-One shared the development on his social media platforms, revealing that the invitation came from the Force Intelligence Department (FID) in Lagos and is set for the coming week.
📌 What Sparked the Invitation
According to reports, the police invitation appears to be connected to a recent video Dee-One posted online, in which he discussed a public event involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s fall during a state visit to Turkey. In that video, Dee-One urged the President to consider resting, a message that caught widespread attention online.
In response to the police notice, Dee-One has stated that he stands by his remarks and has no intention of apologising, insisting that he was expressing his views as a concerned citizen and entertainer.
📍 Comments and Public Reaction
While details from the Nigeria Police Force itself remain limited, Dee-One’s fans and followers are closely watching how the situation unfolds. Many social media users have raised questions about the balance between freedom of expression and public commentary, especially when it involves high-profile figures.
Others see the invitation as a routine step in clarifying content that may have drawn official interest, rather than an indication of any criminal charges at this stage.
🗓️ What’s Next
Dee-One is expected to honour the interview invitation, although his exact appearance date has been discussed in terms of early February. Observers say the outcome will be an important moment for influencers navigating public discourse and legal expectations in Nigeria’s digital space.
