Anthony Joshua's driver charged with causing death by dangerous driving in Nigeria

Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode has been formally charged in Nigeria with a series of offences, the most serious of which is causing death by dangerous driving. The charges were filed by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command following an investigation into a road‑traffic incident that resulted in a fatality. Kayode, identified as the driver of the vehicle involved, is now facing criminal prosecution under the country's Road Traffic Act.

The indictment includes additional counts related to reckless conduct and failure to render assistance at the scene, reflecting the authorities’ assessment that the driver’s actions directly contributed to the loss of life. If convicted, Kayode could be subject to imprisonment, fines, and a possible revocation of his driving licence, in line with Nigerian sentencing guidelines for dangerous driving offences. The case is scheduled for a preliminary hearing next month, after which the court will determine whether it proceeds to trial.
