Counsel to the defendant, Abiodun Olalekan, expressed concern over the delay, stating it’s like a waste of time and wanted the prosecution to expedite action.
The defendant, Adeniyi Mobolaji, 46, faces multiple charges, including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and driving without a valid national driver’s license.
The incident occurred on December 29, 2025, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, when a Lexus SUV driven by Mobolaji collided with a stationary truck, killing Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength coach, Sina Ghami. Joshua and Mobolaji sustained minor injuries.
The court had previously granted bail to Mobolaji in the sum of N5 million with two sureties.
