Ogun announces plans to prosecute DJ Chicken

The Ogun state ministry of Justice has announced it plans to prosecute Nigerian media personality, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken.

The Ministry, in a statement released via their X handle, explained that the action was being taken against the DJ over his reoccurring vehicle accidents.

“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. 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. 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,” they explained.

The Ministry also stated that DJ Chicken has proven to be a danger to the society by his actions, adding that he must be held accountable.

“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,” they added.
