Ogun State Police Command has arraigned Adeniyi Kayode, the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the accident that killed two members of boxing star, Anthony Joshua’s entourage, before a Sagamu Magistrate Court.
A statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, yesterday, said Kayode, 46, was charged yesterday, while the case was adjourned to January 20 for further proceedings.
“The Ogun State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the Joshua accident case, Kayode (male), aged 46, was charged at Sagamu Magistrate Court today, January 2 and the case has been adjourned to January 20,” the statement read.
The arraignment followed investigations into the fatal crash that occurred on December 29, 2025 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, near Sagamu.
The accident 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 of the crash, sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from the hospital.
Two other occupants of the SUV, members of his support team, were confirmed dead.
The police had earlier detained the driver as part of ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash, which sparked widespread public attention due to Joshua’s international profile.
