The trial of Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, driver in the fatal crash that injured Anthony Joshua and killed two members of his team, has been adjourned until November 17 The trial of Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the fatal crash that injured boxer Anthony Joshua and killed two members of his team on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on December 29, 2025, has been adjourned until November 17.
The case, which began in January at a magistrate court in Ogun State, was adjourned from September 10 as proceedings continued over charges arising from the fatal crash. Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, died in the crash. Kayode faces charges including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and operating a vehicle without a valid national driver’s licence.
Prosecutors allege that Kayode was attempting to overtake another vehicle when the SUV carrying Joshua and members of his team crashed into a stationary truck. Anthony Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, survived injuries sustained in the December crash and was later discharged from hospital. The accident occurred as Joshua and his team were travelling to visit his father in Ogun State.
Police told the court during earlier proceedings that both vehicles had been removed from the scene before investigators arrived.
