Ogun Magistrate Court has adjourned the trial of Adeniyi Kayode, a 46-year-old driver, to February 25 over a road accident that claimed the lives of Anthony Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami.
Kayode was arraigned on January 2 before Magistrate Olufunilayo Somefun and faces a four-count charge, including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care causing bodily harm and property damage, and driving without a valid national driver’s licence, under the Federal Highway Act.
During proceedings on Tuesday, the prosecution, led by Nijiwe Richard, requested an adjournment to duplicate the case file for submission to the Ogun State Attorney General’s office for legal advice. The defence, represented by Abiodun Olalekan, opposed the application, saying they were ready to proceed.
The magistrate granted the prosecution’s request and adjourned the trial to February 25. Kayode was granted bail of N5,000,000 with two sureties.
