Ogun State to prosecute DJ Chicken over multiple road crashes
The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has announced plans to prosecute TikTok content creator Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, after a string of road traffic incidents that have heightened concerns about public safety.
The move follows a November 1, 2025, crash in Sagamu, Ogun State, where Abiodun allegedly rammed into two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger seriously injured.
According to a statement released on Monday via the state government’s official X handle, witnesses reported that Abiodun tried to flee the scene before being stopped by onlookers.
The press release read, “While it may be reasonable to allow crash victims get compensation from persons who have driven recklessly and to resolve road traffic collisions as a civil wrong, some road users are special dangers to society and should be held to account under criminal law. Mr Abiodun is one such person.”
It added, “Mr Abiodun’s heedless return to the wheel with no greater care just three weeks after makes it imperative that the state must intervene to protect the public – especially as there is an organic outcry against his continued driving.”
The ministry said that DJ Chicken was involved in another road crash on November 23, 2025, in Lekki, Lagos State, narrowly avoiding pedestrians.
“This lone car incident almost harmed pedestrians, but for good fortune and the pedestrians’ quick reflexes,” the statement noted.
To ensure accountability, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has taken decisive action.
“Accordingly, the Attorney-General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice – Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN – has directed relevant officers to expedite action on the pending crash case from Sagamu for prompt arraignment,” the release stated.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with law enforcement agencies to safeguard the public from dangerous road users.
“The Office of the Attorney-General is working closely with the police to achieve this outcome,” it said.
