Wale busari02 mins

Popular street DJ and entertainer, DJ Chicken, was reportedly beaten by a group of men in Ogun State after he was allegedly involved in a car accident. The incident reportedly occurred in the Sagamu area, where DJ Chicken’s vehicle was said to have collided with a motorcycle carrying a woman. Eyewitnesses claimed the woman sustained injuries, though her current condition remains uncertain. A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows DJ Chicken being confronted by several men at the scene. The visibly angry group ordered him to sit on the ground, and when he resisted, one of them slapped him before he eventually complied. While details remain sketchy, some sources suggest the assault was a reaction to the accident, while others believe it may have been fueled by previous personal disputes. Authorities have yet to comment on the incident, and it is unclear whether any arrests have been made. DJ Chicken, known for his controversial antics and frequent clashes within the entertainment scene, has not released any statement regarding the situation. The condition of the motorcyclist and passenger involved in the crash also remains unconfirmed as investigations continue.

Before Enugu State takes center stage, the 22nd edition of the festival is set to hold in January 2025 in Ogun State, with the Gateway State buzzing with pomp and pageantry, as the Games draw closer.
