Police have arraigned Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the fatal crash that claimed the lives of two members of boxing star Anthony Joshua’s entourage.
The Ogun State Police Command said Kayode, 46, was charged before a Sagamu Magistrate Court on Thursday, January 2, 2026. The case was subsequently adjourned to January 20 for further proceedings.
According to a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi, the arraignment followed investigations into the accident that occurred on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Sagamu.
The crash involved a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua and members of his team, and a stationary truck on the highway. Joshua, who was in the vehicle at the time, sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from hospital.
Two other occupants of the SUV, identified as members of his support team, were confirmed dead. The driver had earlier been detained by the police as part of ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
