Two people have been confirmed dead following a road traffic accident involving Nigerian-British boxing champion Anthony Joshua along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash occurred at about 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 29, in the Makun area near Sagamu, when a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua reportedly rammed into a stationary truck. The circumstances surrounding the collision are still under investigation.
The Ogun State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident. Its spokesperson, Afolabi Odunsi, said Joshua survived the crash, but two occupants of the vehicle died at the scene.
“It’s true, but he is alive. About five people were involved; two died. I will send you a release shortly,” Odunsi said, adding that a detailed report would be issued later.
Reports indicate that the Lexus SUV was part of a two-vehicle convoy.
