Anthony Joshua's driver attempted overtake before fatal crash, trial hears
Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, 46, is charged with offences including causing death by dangerous driving and reckless driving.
Anthony Joshua's driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, was attempting an overtake when his Lexus SUV crashed, killing two of Joshua's friends, personal trainer Latif Ayodele and strength coach Sina Ghami. The incident occurred in Ogun State, Nigeria, as the group was travelling to visit Joshua's father. Kayode, 46, faces charges including causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid licence, while Abubakar Adamu, 35, the driver of the stationary lorry, denies obstructing traffic.
The court heard that Kayode's car collided with a parked lorry after losing control while overtaking a moving truck. Police have not yet taken a statement from Joshua, but he recently posted a tribute to his deceased friends on social media.
