The Ogun State Police have officially charged Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver of Nigerian-British boxing star Anthony Joshua, to court over a tragic road accident that claimed two lives earlier this week.
The announcement was made by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Ogun State Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, on Friday.
Kayode, 46, appeared before the Sagamu Magistrate Court on January 2, 2026, in connection with the incident.
According to the police, the court has adjourned the matter to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.
