A popular skit maker on Tiktok, Youngandyzz has been arrested and detained by the Nigerian Air Force, after he lamented threats from the military over his contents on social media.
In his most recent video uploaded on his Tiktok page with over 37,000 followers last Friday, the skit maker who claimed he was a "soldier under rank" alleged that the air force had invited him for questioning over his videos which the military believed were targeted to expose some irregularities within the institution.
Youngandyzz is well-known on Tiktok for his work, which frequently compares the best practices of military people in other nations to what is available in Africa.
He said, “I was being invited by the airforce that I should come for an interview based on my skit, my comedy videos, saying that my videos I am exposing them, making the world to see the things they are doing. But Me I no know wetin me I dey expose oo. Because the particular country in West African country that I am talking about, even me myself I don’t know the country. But when they feel say nah them be the country, toh nah them know. So this morning I am going to the Air Force headquarters and I am making these videos to let my fans know and my followers know that in case you did not hear from me again, I am with the Air Force. A lot of threat, that they have been threatening about doing content that I should stop doing videos, they can’t stop me because this is what makes me happy. And this is what makes a lot of people happy. They smile and laugh. And I don’t think anybody can stop me from doing it. In so far I no thief, I no dey kill pesin.
“I just want you guys to know that in case you don’t hear from me, I dey with airforce,” he added.
A perusal of his Tiktok page on Tuesday by SaharaReporters showed that the video about his invitation was the last content he dropped which is very unusual of him.
As of the time of filling this report, SaharaReporters learnt that he was still in the detention of the air force since Friday when he honoured the invitation
