The driver charged in the car crash that injured Anthony Joshua and killed two of his friends appeared in a Nigerian court on Tuesday, as the star boxer’s uncle questioned whether a trial was “really worth it”. Kayode faces multiple charges of reckless driving, as well as a charge of driving without a licence. But taking this man to court is something we don’t see any reason for,” Joshua’s uncle, Adedamola Joshua, told AFP at the boxer’s family home. Adedamola Joshua told AFP that Kayode had been his nephew’s driver for three years and that there had never been any complaints. His nephew, a British national of Nigerian heritage, frequently visits southwest Nigeria, where he has friends and family.
