DJ Chicken To Be Prosecuted After Multiple Road Crashes

The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has announced that it is fast-tracking the prosecution of popular entertainer Ademola Abiodun, widely known as DJ Chicken, over a series of dangerous driving incidents recorded within the past two months. According to the Ministry, the first incident occurred on 1 November 2025 in Sagamu, where DJ Chicken reportedly crashed into two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger seriously injured. The Ministry noted that Mr. Abiodun showed no remorse at the scene and allegedly attempted to flee, prompting an angry mob reaction from bystanders.

The state revealed that on 23 November 2025, DJ Chicken was again involved in a lone car crash in Lekki, Lagos State, narrowly missing pedestrians who escaped harm due to quick reflexes. Authorities confirmed that this latest event is the third road crash involving the entertainer in two months. The Ministry of Justice stressed that while many road traffic incidents may be resolved civilly, certain recurring behaviours pose a “special danger” to the public and require criminal intervention. It described Mr. Abiodun as “one such person,” pointing out that at least two of the crashes were documented on video. Citing public outcry and the urgent need to protect road users, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed that the pending Sagamu crash case be expedited for prompt arraignment. The Ministry confirmed that it is working closely with the Ogun State Police Command to ensure swift legal action.

Yomi Fabiyi Hails Baba Ijesha’s Reported Release

Nollywood actor and human-rights advocate Yomi Fabiyi has reacted to the reported release of fellow actor Baba Ijesha from prison, celebrating the development and insisting that the appeal court “cleared” the actor of allegations involving a minor. Fabiyi announced the development on Instagram, writing: “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.” According to Fabiyi, the appeal court exonerated the actor of claims that he sexually assaulted a child, describing the original case as “weaponised abuse.” He wrote: “I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade. We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.” Baba Ijesha Reportedly Freed After A’Court Overturns Conviction Sexual Assault: Court Upholds Baba Ijesha’s 5-Year Conviction Sexual Assault: Court Of Appeal Confirms 5-Year Conviction Of Baba Ijesha Fabiyi went on to make a series of allegations against individuals connected to the original case, claiming that the child’s age was never properly established. “Those that SET THE TRAP engaged in age falsification because there was no single proof till date anywhere, not even in court, that said the victim was 14 years,” he alleged. He also accused others of misconduct, insisting that selective justice occurred: “Make it make sense: same case, same victim, same investigation.” Fabiyi further alleged that the victim was exposed to trauma during the investigation process and accused those involved of violating her rights. “Princess Comedian subjected the girl to re-trauma. She practically wants the girl to suffer PTSD just because she wants to gather evidence… She abused the rights of the girl because she relied on her for food, shelter, and guidance,” he wrote. Fabiyi emphasised that his stance was based on human-rights advocacy, adding that he would continue to fight cases he considers unjust. “We, as a Human Rights Organization, never and will never condone or support any form of sexual abuse… We will continue to fight against selective justice, abuse of fundamental human rights, and fight against organised crime like in the case of Baba Ijesha.” As of the time of this report, official confirmation of Baba Ijesha’s release has not been issued by prison authorities or the Lagos State Judiciary.

In July 2022, a Lagos High Court sentenced him to 16 years imprisonment, set to run concurrently, effectively amounting to five years. In April 2024, the actor appealed the judgment, insisting he was framed and claiming he acted according to a script allegedly given to him by a colleague.
