Police invite Dee One for routine interview in Lagos

Social media personality to visit FCID over undisclosed matter
The Nigeria Police Force has officially extended an invitation to the popular social media personality and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo Martin, widely known as Dee One.
On Thursday, January 29, 2026, reports emerged that the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Lagos requested his presence for what has been described as a “routine interview.” While the specific details of the petition against him remain private, the invitation is part of the “National” effort to address sensitive online content.
Dee One, who has built a massive following through his provocative and often controversial commentary on trending issues, confirmed the invitation via his social media handles. He assured his fans that he is a “law-abiding citizen” and would honor the police request to provide clarity on whatever matter has been raised. This development follows a recent trend where the Police have invited several influencers to discuss the “Sanctity” of public discourse and cyber-safety regulations.
Legal representatives for the comedian stated that they are prepared to accompany him to the station to ensure his rights are protected. They emphasized that a police invitation is not an arrest but a standard procedure for Fact-Finding in response to external complaints. As January 2026 ends, the spotlight remains on how “Renewed Hope” for digital accountability will affect the freedom of expression for Nigerian creators.
