The Magistrate Court in Sagamu, Ogun state, has adjourned the trial of Anthony Joshua’s driver, Adeniyi Kayode, to February 25, 2026.

 

Kayode appeared before the court on Tuesday, January 20, for the continuation of his trial.

 

At the resumption of hearing on Tuesday, Richard Nigiwe, prosecuting counsel, told the court that three of four witnesses are currently in the court.

 

The prosecution witnesses present in court were officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and directorate of road traffic services, also known as the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO).

 

Abiodun Olalekan, council to Adeniyi Kayode Nigiwe asked the court for adjournment of the case to March to allow them to duplicate the case file and present it to the attorney-general of the state through the department of public prosecution for legal advice.

 

But Olalekan Abiodun, the defence counsel, objected and argued that since three witnesses are in court, the trial should start.

 

However, Somefun, the magistrate, ruled that the case should be adjourned to February 25 to enable the prosecutor seek legal advice.

 

The magistrate ordered that the case be duplicated and sent to the Ogun AG.
