One Kayode Adeniyi, 47, is currently standing before a High Court of Ogun State in Sagamu for manslaughter, reckless driving and others.

Adeniy, who drove the ill-fated vehicle that carried heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua and his friends, was earlier arrested and questioned at the Eleweran Police Station, where he gave his account of the crash. He was subsequently charged in court for reckless driving and manslaughter.

A police source told The Guardian, "He's currently in court, expect more information on the case."

Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, was discharged from hospital on Monday, December 29, 2025, following his involvement in the fatal car crash in Nigeria.

The boxer was deemed fit after receiving treatment in Nigeria to ensure the crash did not seriously harm him. He was discharged to continue recuperating in his home.

Joshua sustained minor injuries in the crash, which claimed the lives of his personal trainer and a close friend while he was travelling to visit his family.

He is expected to be sidelined from boxing for a while as he mourns the deaths of his companions and takes medication to recover fully before resuming active duties.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the two friends who died at the scene are set to be repatriated to their families for burial.

The fatal crash occurred on a busy highway in Makun, just hours after Joshua and his associates had spent time playing tennis together.

The vehicle he was travelling in collided with a stationary truck, an incident that tragically claimed the lives of two people.

Joshua's two friends, Kevin Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, were confirmed dead, as they could not survive the injuries sustained in the crash.
