The Ogun State Police Command has arraigned the driver of a Lexus SUV involved in the fatal road crash that claimed the lives of two members of world-renowned boxer Anthony Joshua’s entourage.
The driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, was brought before a Sagamu Magistrate Court on Thursday, January 2, 2026, following investigations into the accident that occurred along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Sagamu on December 29, 2025.
Confirming the development in a statement on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun State, DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi, said the case has been adjourned to January 20, 2026, for further proceedings.
“The Ogun State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the Anthony Joshua accident, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode (male), aged 46, was charged before the Sagamu Magistrate Court today, January 2, 2026.
The matter has been adjourned to January 20, 2026,” Babaseyi stated.
The accident involved a Lexus SUV conveying Anthony Joshua and members of his team and a stationary truck parked on the highway.
While Joshua, who was in the vehicle at the time of the crash, sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from the hospital, two members of his support team died as a result of the collision.
The police had earlier taken the driver into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash, which attracted widespread public attention due to Joshua’s international status.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing, and further updates will be provided as the case progresses.
