The Nigeria Police Force has invited former Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian Aderombi Adedayo, popularly known as Dee One, for a routine interview over comments he made in a viral video.
The invitation was issued by the Force Intelligence Department (FID) as part of an ongoing inquiry and was described as a fact-finding interview, according to a letter addressed to the comedian.
Dee One disclosed the invitation in a post on X on Thursday, where he read out the contents of the letter signed by the Commissioner of Police, FID.
The letter directed him to report to the FID Annex Office in Lagos through the OCCIOS team.
Reacting, the comedian said he believes the invitation may be linked to a video he posted earlier that generated widespread reactions and calls from different quarters.
He said he does not regret making the video and insisted that he did nothing wrong.
Dee One added that he would not apologise if the invitation is connected to his comments, describing them as personal views expressed as a Nigerian citizen.
“I saw something strange that happened in Turkey involving our President, our dear President, and I shared my views as an ordinary Nigerian,” he said. “If this invitation is about the video I posted yesterday, I have received many calls and heard different opinions.”
“Some people said Dee One was cyberbullying, that I should not have mentioned the President’s son or spoken about the President,” he added.
The comedian also addressed the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, assuring him that he would honour the invitation.
He said he would report to the police office on Monday and promised to keep Nigerians informed about any developments.
