The Sagamu Magistrate Court has moved the trial of 46-year-old Adeniyi Kayode to February 25, 2026. Kayode is the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in a road accident that led to the death of two people said to be friends of heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua. He was first brought before the court on January 2, with Magistrate Olufunilayo Somefun handling the case.
Kayode is facing four charges related to the accident. These include dangerous driving that caused death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care which resulted in injury and damage to property, and driving without a valid national driver’s licence. The offences are based on provisions of the Federal Highway Act as applied in Ogun State.
During the hearing, the prosecuting lawyer told the court that four witnesses were listed but only three were present. He asked the court for more time to allow the case file to be duplicated and sent to the state Attorney General through the Department of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
The defence lawyer opposed the request and said the case was ready to proceed. After listening to both sides, the magistrate approved the request by the prosecution and fixed February 25, 2026, for the continuation of the trial.
