Adeniyi Kayode, the driver involved in the fatal accident with Anthony Joshua’s vehicle, will face trial again on February 25, 2026, as the Sagamu Magistrate Court in Ogun State adjourned the case.
Kayode appeared before the court on Tuesday, January 20, for the continuation of his trial.
At Tuesday’s hearing, prosecuting counsel Richard Nigiwe informed the court that three out of four witnesses were present, including officials from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO).
Abiodun Olalekan, council to Adeniyi Kayode Nigiwe asked the court for adjournment of the case to March to allow them to duplicate the case file and present it to the attorney-general of the state through the department of public prosecution for legal advice.
But Olalekan Abiodun, the defence counsel, objected and argued that since three witnesses are in court, the trial should start.
However, Somefun, the magistrate, ruled that the case should be adjourned to February 25 to enable the prosecutor seek legal advice.
The magistrate ordered that the case be duplicated and sent to the Ogun Attorney-General.
