The driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the deadly collision that killed two of Anthony Joshua’s companions, Adeniyi Kayode, has been charged in court, according to the Ogun State Police Command.
According to reports, Kayode, 46, was charged on Friday in front of a Sagamu, Ogun State, Magistrate Court.
In a succinct statement, Mr. Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Ogun State Police Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, revealed the news.
The court postponed the case to January 20, 2026, for additional proceedings, the police official said.
Nevertheless, the authorities did not reveal the precise allegations that were favored against the accused or offer any information about the accident’s circumstances.
