Court to Begin Trial of Anthony Joshua’s Driver Over Fatal Crash

The Sagamu Magistrate Court in Ogun State is set to commence the trial of Adeniyi Kayode, the 46-year-old driver accused in the fatal road accident that claimed the lives of Anthony Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami.

Kayode is facing four charges, including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and driving without a valid national driver’s licence.

The crash, which occurred on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was reportedly caused by excessive speeding and wrongful overtaking.

The court had earlier granted the defendant bail in the sum of ₦5 million with two sureties and adjourned the matter to January 20, 2026, for the commencement of trial.
