The Ogun State prosecution of DJ Chicken is now underway as the state government takes an unexpected but firm step following a series of road crashes linked to the popular entertainer.
The Ministry of Justice said action is being fast-tracked after his latest incident, which almost harmed pedestrians in Lekki.
Moreover, officials stated that the pattern of events has raised serious concerns about public safety.
According to the Ministry, the first crash occurred on 1 November 2025 in Sagamu.
In that incident, DJ Chicken allegedly rammed into two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger badly injured.
Furthermore, witnesses were shocked when he reportedly tried to leave the scene without showing remorse.
This reaction from him provoked a mob response before the police intervened.
The Ministry explained that the police had been reviewing the case with careful attention to the victims’ recovery.
However, another crash involving DJ Chicken was recorded on 23 November in Lekki.
It was a lone incident, but it almost led to a serious tragedy. Officials noted that only quick reflexes spared pedestrians from harm.
“Yesterday’s incident is reportedly the third road crash in two months involving Mr Abiodun at the wheel,” the statement said. In addition, the Ministry described him as a “special danger to society.”
The press release also stated: “Mr Abiodun is one such person. At least two of the crashes were documented in real time video coverage and are self-evident.”
Meanwhile, the government argued that while some road incidents can be handled as civil cases, repeated reckless driving crosses into criminal territory.
Therefore, the state must intervene to protect the public, especially after what it called “an organic outcry” over his continued driving.
Accordingly, Attorney-General Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed officers to speed up the process for arraignment.
“The Office of the Attorney-General is working closely with the Police to achieve this outcome,” the statement added.
The move signals a clear shift in how the state handles repeat road offenders.
