A court in Nigeria heard that Anthony Joshua's driver was attempting to overtake another vehicle when it collided with a parked lorry, killing two of the boxer's friends. Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, a 46-year-old driver, faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a valid license, but denies the allegations.
The accident occurred in Ogun State, near Lagos, in December last year, when Joshua's group was en route to visit his father. The victims were personal trainer Latif Ayodele and strength coach Sina Ghami. Another defendant, Abubakar Adamu, 35, was the driver of the stationary lorry that the Lexus SUV crashed into and denies the charge of obstructing traffic.
Police recovered a logbook, painkillers, and an energy drink from the Lexus but were unable to take a statement from Joshua, as efforts were ongoing. The trial was adjourned until September 10.
