A new road accident involving controversial entertainer DJ Chicken in Lekki, Lagos, has reignited public concern over his driving.
Footage from the scene showed his vehicle heavily damaged, with bystanders expressing shock at what some Nigerians on social media described as a pattern of dangerous and reckless driving behaviour. This incident adds to a string of accidents linked to DJ Chicken over the past two months in Ogun and Lagos States.
In a post shared on X on Saturday, A user who identifies as Chief Ayodele Afolabi (Otun Bashorun), called on authorities to immediately prohibit DJ Chicken from driving, citing escalating risks to public safety.
“I wish to express my deep concern regarding the repeated incidents involving the individual popularly known as DJ Chicken. Within the past two months, he has been involved in no fewer than three serious road accidents, each posing grave danger to the public, Afolabi wrote.
Most recently, a life-threatening incident occurred in Sagamu, leaving a lady with serious injury and Only yesterday, another alarming episode took place on Kelly Street, where he nearly ran over several pedestrians. It was only by sheer providence and the intervention of a roadside gutter that a greater tragedy was averted, as the vehicle involved was almost completely destroyed.”
Afolabi stressed that the situation has moved beyond social media outrage and urged urgent regulatory intervention:
“Given this troubling pattern of reckless behaviour, it is my considered opinion that DJ Chicken should be immediately prohibited from operating any vehicle within any part of the country until further notice. This measure is necessary to safeguard the lives of innocent citizens and prevent future tragedies.
