The trial of Adeniyi Kayode, the 46-year-old driver involved in the fatal accident that killed Anthony Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, has been adjourned to February 25, 2026.
The case, initially set for Monday at the Sagamu Magistrate Court in Ogun State, concerns an accident on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Reports indicate the crash was caused by excessive speed and wrongful overtaking.
Kayode faces four charges: dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and driving without a valid national driver’s license. He was previously granted bail of ₦5,000,000 with two sureties.
During proceedings, the court ordered that the case file be duplicated and forwarded to the office of the Attorney General for legal advice.
