Ogun Ministry of Justice Accelerates Prosecution of DJ Chicken Over Multiple Road Crashes

Wale busari02 mins

The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has announced that it is fast-tracking the prosecution of TikTok creator Ademola Abiodun, known as DJ Chicken, following a series of road accidents that have sparked public safety concerns. The latest crash occurred on November 1, 2025, in Sagamu, where Abiodun reportedly collided with two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger seriously injured. Eyewitnesses said he tried to flee the scene but was restrained by bystanders. In a statement on the state government’s official X handle, the ministry said, “While some road accident cases can be handled civilly through compensation, certain road users are a clear danger to society and must face criminal accountability. Mr Abiodun is one such person.” The statement noted that at least two of Abiodun’s recent crashes were captured on video and highlighted his reckless return to driving just weeks after the first incident. The ministry said this made it necessary to intervene to protect the public, especially amid widespread outcry against his continued driving. DJ Chicken was also involved in another incident on November 23, 2025, in Lekki, Lagos State, narrowly avoiding pedestrians. “This lone-car crash almost harmed pedestrians, but for their quick reflexes and sheer luck,” the statement added. Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has instructed authorities to expedite action on the Sagamu crash case to ensure prompt arraignment. The ministry stressed its commitment to working closely with law enforcement to safeguard road users.

FCT Police Bans Firecrackers, Knockouts Ahead of Festive Season

Wale busari01 mins

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has banned the sale, purchase, and use of firecrackers, knockouts, and other unauthorised pyrotechnics as the Ember-months festive period approaches. Spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh warned that these explosives pose serious safety risks, including injuries, fires, and public panic, and can also be exploited by criminals to cover unlawful activities. She stressed that their use disrupts public peace and endangers vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people with health conditions. Police operatives have been instructed to enforce the ban strictly, with violators subject to arrest and prosecution. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report anyone involved in the sale or use of prohibited fireworks. Similar measures have been implemented in Imo and Plateau states, where authorities have banned fireworks to prevent accidents, fires, and disturbances during Christmas and New Year celebrations.

UK Rejects FG’s Request to Free Ekweremadu From Prison

Wale busari04 mins

The United Kingdom, UK, has declined Nigeria’s request to allow former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu to complete his prison sentence in Nigeria. Ekweremadu is serving a custodial term in Britain following his conviction for organ trafficking. He was found guilty in 2023 and handed a prison sentence of nine years and eight months after being convicted of conspiring to exploit a young man by removing his kidney. Recently, a high-ranking delegation dispatched by President Bola Tinubu met with officials at the UK Ministry of Justice in an effort to address Ekweremadu’s situation. The team was led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, alongside the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi. This diplomatic engagement occurs at a time when legal interactions between both countries have become increasingly sensitive, particularly in cases involving high-profile Nigerians facing prosecution abroad. The former senator, along with his wife Beatrice and a medical practitioner, had been convicted in March 2023 for offences linked to arranging the travel of a young man to the UK with the intention of exploiting him for his kidney, an act prohibited under the Modern Slavery Act. Ekweremadu’s sentence of nine years and eight months underscored the gravity of the offense and marked the first conviction of its kind under the legislation.

Ghana Police Apprehend Nigerian Suspect in FRSC Officer and Daughter’s Murder

Wale busari03 mins

The Eastern South Regional Police Command in Ghana has apprehended a suspect linked to the killing of Federal Road Safety Corps officer Lasisi Funmilayo Oluwamayokun and her teenage daughter, Sewa Lasisi. The arrest was confirmed on Sunday, November 23, during a press briefing by Regional Commander George Ohene-Boadi. The suspect, identified as Victor Benjamin Fejemirokum, was found hiding at a friend’s residence in Akyem Wenchi, a suburb of Akwatia. Ohene-Boadi explained that intelligence reports indicated the suspect had fled Nigeria to evade arrest. “A Nigerian man suspected of murdering a woman and her daughter in Nigeria fled to Ghana to avoid Nigerian authorities,” he said. The commander noted that the arrest was prompted by a viral video alleging the suspect had abducted and killed the FRSC officer and her daughter in Abeokuta, Ogun State. “Upon learning of his location, our intelligence-led operation swiftly apprehended him,” Ohene-Boadi added. Ghanaian authorities confirmed that arrangements are ongoing to repatriate the suspect to Nigeria. “He is currently in police custody, and steps are being taken to hand him over to Nigerian authorities,” the regional commander said. Lasisi Oluwamayokun, 39, and her daughter were reported missing on November 2 after leaving their home in Obasanjo Hilltop Estate, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. Lasisi was a Superintendent Route Commander, responsible for supervising multiple routes and coordinating strategic operations for the FRSC. Their mutilated bodies were later recovered at a suspected herbalist’s den in Osun State. While several suspects, including the herbalist, were arrested, the main suspect remained at large until his capture in Ghana. Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo stated that the investigation has been handed over to the Osun State Command, with Ogun State police providing necessary support.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour Calls On FG To License Firearms Amid Rising Insecurity

Wale busari02 mins

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, has urged the Federal Government to consider allowing citizens to own firearms if it cannot guarantee their safety. Speaking on Monday during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Rhodes-Vivour highlighted the surge in kidnappings and general insecurity across the country. “This is not just about the north. Over the weekend, we witnessed abductions in Kwara and Ogun States. The breakdown of institutions and loss of public trust make people lose faith in the government,” he said. He added, “I am raising this because of the government’s failure. If it cannot act decisively, then it should start considering licensing firearms for citizens.” Rhodes-Vivour warned that repeated lapses in security could force Nigerians to take matters into their own hands and cautioned that short-term government responses would not stop people from seeking long-term self-protection. He described leaving citizens defenseless amid escalating threats as “wickedness,” emphasizing the government’s responsibility to protect its people.
