The ministry said on Monday that its decision stems from an accident in Sagamu on November 1, 2025, where Abiodun allegedly rammed into two motorcycles, leaving a rider and a female passenger critically injured. Eyewitnesses reportedly claimed he attempted to flee before being restrained by bystanders.
According to the government, the Sagamu crash was not an isolated event. Abiodun was said to have been involved in another accident on Sunday in Lekki, Lagos State, where he narrowly avoided hitting pedestrians—marking the third recorded incident within two months.
The ministry, in its statement released via its official X handle, described his repeated involvement in crashes as a pattern of reckless behaviour that poses a threat to the public.
“Mr Abiodun’s heedless return to the wheel with no greater care just three weeks after makes it imperative that the state must intervene to protect the public—especially as there is an organic outcry against his continued driving,” the statement read.It added that while road collisions are often resolved as civil matters, some drivers constitute “special dangers to society” and must be held accountable under criminal law.
To accelerate legal action, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, SAN, has directed relevant officers to fast-track the pending Sagamu case for prompt arraignment.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with law enforcement agencies to curb dangerous driving and safeguard residents from repeated traffic misconduct.
