DJ Chicken Mobbed in Sagamu After Road Accident, Safety Concerns Raised
Celebrity DJ and content creator DJ Chicken has come under intense public scrutiny following a road accident in Sagamu, Ogun State, which left a woman injured and sparked a violent reaction from bystanders.
The incident reportedly involved DJ Chicken’s vehicle colliding with a motorcycle carrying a man and a woman. Eyewitnesses say the woman sustained injuries, with some reports indicating a broken leg.
In the immediate aftermath, a crowd reportedly dragged the DJ from his vehicle, assaulting him physically in a scene captured on social media. DJ Chicken later addressed the incident in a video, denying allegations of drunken driving and expressing frustration at the mob’s reaction.
The accident has reignited broader concerns about road safety and celebrity accountability. Some social media commentators and public figures, including Chief Ayodele Afolabi, have raised alarms over what they describe as a pattern of reckless driving by the entertainer.
Afolabi claimed that DJ Chicken has been involved in multiple accidents within the last two months, although only the Sagamu crash has been independently confirmed by media outlets.
The injured woman’s family is reportedly seeking ₦46.5 million for medical treatment, highlighting the financial and legal consequences of traffic incidents involving high-profile individuals. Calls are also growing for authorities to review DJ Chicken’s driving record and enforce stricter road safety regulations.
While the Sagamu crash is the only confirmed incident, public debate continues over whether celebrity status may inadvertently encourage risk-taking on the road.
Traffic safety advocates are urging the Ogun State Police and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to take action, both to prevent future accidents and to ensure accountability when road users — regardless of their public profile — endanger lives.
The case underscores ongoing challenges in Nigeria regarding road discipline, enforcement of traffic laws, and public reaction when accidents occur, particularly involving well-known personalities.
Further updates are expected as authorities investigate the incident and the legal proceedings unfold.
