The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has said it is fast-tracking the prosecution of TikTok content creator, Ademola Abiodun, widely known as DJ Chicken, following a string of traffic incidents that have triggered widespread public concern.
The ministry’s position stems from a November 1, 2025 crash in Sagamu, where Abiodun allegedly rammed into two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger seriously injured.
The development was contained in a statement posted on the state government’s official X handle on Monday.
According to the statement, witnesses at the scene claimed Abiodun attempted to flee after the collision, sparking outrage among residents who reportedly prevented him from escaping.
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.”
The government noted that at least two of Abiodun’s recent traffic crashes were recorded on video and “are self-evident.”
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 also referenced another incident involving the content creator on November 23, 2025, in Lekki, Lagos State, where he was said to have narrowly missed hitting pedestrians.
“This lone car incident almost harmed pedestrians, but for good fortune and the pedestrians’ quick reflexes,” the statement noted.
To reinforce public safety, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed that action be accelerated on the Sagamu case.
“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.
Reaffirming its commitment to safeguarding road users, the ministry said it is working closely with security agencies.
“The Office of the Attorney-General is working closely with the police to achieve this outcome,” it said.
