Ogun State, Nigeria – 24 November 2025 — The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has announced that it is fast-tracking legal action against Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, following a series of road traffic incidents that have raised public safety concerns.
The move comes after multiple crashes involving Mr. Abiodun, including a serious accident on 1 November 2025 in Sagamu, Ogun State. On that day, Mr. Abiodun collided with two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger with significant injuries. Reports indicate that he attempted to leave the scene without rendering assistance, prompting passersby to intervene until law enforcement arrived. The Ogun State Police Command launched an investigation, ensuring that medical care and privacy for the victims were prioritized.
Concerns escalated on 23 November 2025, when Mr. Abiodun was involved in another vehicle crash in Lekki, Lagos State. Although no injuries were reported, the lone-car incident narrowly missed pedestrians, who only avoided harm due to quick reflexes. Authorities note that this marks at least the third documented accident involving Mr. Abiodun in the last two months. Video footage of at least two of the crashes has circulated widely, showing the reckless nature of his driving.
In a statement, the Ministry emphasized that while civil remedies such as compensation for accident victims are possible, some road users present such a clear danger to public safety that criminal intervention is necessary. “Mr. Abiodun’s repeated disregard for road safety, including returning to the wheel only three weeks after a serious crash, makes it imperative for the State to act to protect the public,” the statement read.
Accordingly, the Attorney-General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed that relevant officers expedite proceedings on the pending Sagamu crash case for prompt arraignment. The Office of the Attorney-General is coordinating closely with the Ogun State Police Command to ensure swift and thorough legal action.
The State Ministry of Justice reaffirmed its commitment to public safety, warning that reckless driving will not be tolerated and that individuals who endanger lives on the roads will be held fully accountable under the law.
