A Magistrate’s Court sitting in Sagamu, Ogun State, has granted bail to Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver who conveyed former two-time world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, and members of his team before a fatal road accident.
Kayode was admitted to bail in the sum of ₦5 million, with two sureties, while the court adjourned the matter to February 25, 2026, for further hearing.
The 46-year-old is standing trial over a crash that claimed the lives of Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and his strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami.
Kayode was arraigned on January 2, 2026, before Magistrate Olufunilayo Somefun on a four-count charge bordering on dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention resulting in bodily harm and damage to property, as well as driving without a valid national driver’s licence.
The offences are said to be contrary to provisions of the Federal Highway Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, as applicable in Ogun State.
At the hearing, prosecution counsel, Nijiwe Richard, applied for an adjournment to enable the prosecution transmit the case file to the Ogun State Attorney-General’s office through the Department of Public Prosecutions for legal advice, in the interest of justice.
