Legal Sh*ckwave: What The Court Just Revealed About Anthony Joshua’s Driver’s Trial

The tragic accident occurred on December 29, 2025, along the heavily trafficked Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The defendant, 46-year-old Adeniyi Kayode, appeared before the Magistrate Court in the Sagamu area of Ogun State on Tuesday. The court session was presided over by Magistrate Olufunilayo Somefun, who ordered the adjournment of the case.

Kayode is facing four charges, including dangerous driving resulting in death under Section 5(1) of the Federal Highway Act, Cap F:135, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 (as applicable in Ogun State); reckless and negligent driving contrary to Section 6(1) of the same Act; driving without due care and attention causing bodily harm and property damage under Section 7(1); and driving without a valid national driver’s licence in violation of Section 10(1) of the Act.

During the proceedings, the prosecution counsel, Nijiwe Richard, requested an adjournment to enable the duplication and transmission of the case file to the Office of the Attorney General through the Department of Public Prosecution for legal advice, citing the interest of justice.

Although the defence counsel, Abiodun Olalekan, initially opposed the request and stated his readiness to proceed with the trial, the magistrate ultimately approved the adjournment.
