My police invitation is politically motivated – DeeOne

DeeOne

Reality TV star and comedian Aderombi Adedayo, popularly known as DeeOne, has said his invitation by the Nigeria Police Force is politically motivated.

DeeOne made the claim on Monday morning in a video posted on his Instagram page, where he said he had been invited for questioning.

In the video, the comedian alleged that police officers had been trailing him and said he was already on his way to the police station.

He also urged the Nigeria Police and the Nigerian Army to stay out of political matters.

“My invitation was politically motivated. And let it be clear, Nigeria police and Nigerian army stay away from politics. Another thing, 1% of the 1% are not scared.

“Nobody should beg for me. You have to fight for your rights in this country. So, I’m on my way. If this will be my last video on earth no problem. No be today police brutality don dey happen. I will face anything that wants to happen. For Nigeria police to want to know where I stay, to want to kidnap me,” he said.

DeeOne had earlier disclosed last Thursday that he was invited by the Force Intelligence Department for what was described as a routine interview.

As of the time of reporting, the police have not issued an official statement on the invitation or responded to the claims made by the comedian.

DeeOne rose to prominence after appearing on the Big Brother Naija reality show and has since built a career in comedy and social commentary, often sharing his views on national issues through social media.
