The trial of Adeniyi Kayode, the 46-year-old driver charged in connection with the fatal road accident that claimed the lives of Anthony Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, has been adjourned to February 25, 2026.

The case, which came up on Monday at the Sagamu Magistrate Court in Ogun State, relates to a crash that occurred on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The accident was reportedly caused by excessive speed and wrongful overtaking.

Kayode is facing four counts, including 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 earlier granted bail in the sum of ₦5 million with two sureties.

The case has continued to draw public attention due to its link to the former heavyweight boxing champion and the tragic loss of two members of his training team.
