Overview
- The defendant, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, appeared at Sagamu Magistrate Court and the matter was adjourned to February 25 at the prosecution’s request.
- Kayode faces four counts including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and operating without a valid national driver’s licence, and he is on N5 million bail.
- Authorities say a Lexus SUV carrying Anthony Joshua struck a stationary truck on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway on December 29, killing Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami and leaving Joshua with minor injuries.
- Road-safety officials have cited preliminary indications of excessive speed and a burst tyre, while the defence has raised a claim of brake failure as the technical assessment continues.
- Joshua has returned to light training, and a family member speaking to reporters questioned whether pursuing the case in court is worthwhile.
