The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has revealed plans to prosecute TikToker Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken, in connection with a vehicular incident that took place on November 1, 2025, in Sagamu, Ogun State.

According to a statement released by the Ministry, DJ Chicken crashed into two motorcycles, seriously injuring a rider and a lady passenger, and attempted to leave the scene without showing remorse.

"On 1 November 2025, Mr Abiodun crashed into two motorcycles in Sagamu, Ogun State, seriously injuring a rider and a lady passenger.

"Mr Abiodun was unremorseful and attempted to leave the scene of the incident, which provoked an angry reaction from passersby who mobbed him," the statement noted.

"At the time, the Ogun State Police Command began investigation and review of the circumstances, mindful to prioritise the medical care, privacy, and recovery of the victims."

The statement further revealed that DJ Chicken was involved in another road crash in Lekki, Lagos State, on November 23, 2025, which is reportedly his third accident in two months.

"Yesterday, 23 November 2025, in Lekki, Lagos State, Mr Abiodun was again involved in another road crash. This lone car incident almost harmed pedestrians, but for good fortune and the pedestrians' quick reflexes.

"Yesterday's incident is reportedly the third road crash in two months involving Mr Abiodun at the wheel.

"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. At least two of the crashes were documented in real time video coverage and are self-evident. 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 statement partly read.

Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed officials to expedite action on the case, citing DJ Chicken's "heedless return to the wheel" as a threat to public safety.

"The State must intervene to protect the public. Mr Abiodun's actions make it imperative that he be held accountable under criminal law," the statement reads.

"According you, 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 Office of the Attorney-General is working closely with the Police to achieve this outcome."
