Human rights lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has raised concerns over the safety of popular Nigerian comedian Sarkin Dariya, alleging that the entertainer is facing threats that could endanger his life.
In a strongly worded statement, Adeyanju urged the public to hold the relevant security agencies and government authorities accountable should any harm befall the comedian, warning that any attack against Sarkin Dariya would raise serious questions about the protection of citizens’ rights and freedom of expression.
“Hold the authorities responsible if anything happens to Sarkin Dariya,” Adeyanju declared, expressing fears over what he described as growing threats against the comedian.
Although the exact nature of the alleged threats has not been publicly disclosed, the statement has sparked widespread reactions across social media, with supporters calling on security agencies to ensure the comedian’s safety and to investigate any credible threats against him.
The development has also renewed conversations about the security of public figures, particularly entertainers and social commentators whose work often attracts public attention and scrutiny.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from the relevant authorities regarding the allegations, while Sarkin Dariya has yet to issue a detailed public statement on the matter.
