The case, which began in January at a magistrate court in Ogun State, was adjourned from September 10 as proceedings continued over charges arising from the fatal crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Joshua's personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, were killed.

Kayode faces charges including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and operating a vehicle without a valid national driver's licence.

The 46-year-old Kayode denies the charges.

Prosecutors allege that Kayode was attempting to overtake another vehicle when the SUV carrying Joshua and his team crashed into a stationary truck.

Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, survived injuries he sustained in the crash in December last year and was later discharged.

The crash occurred as the group was traveling to visit Joshua's father in Ogun State.

Police told the court in earlier proceedings that both vehicles had been removed from the scene before investigators arrived.
