Nigerian Police Detain Anthony Joshua’s Driver as Ogun State Investigates Fatal Road Crash That Killed Two of Boxing Champion’s Close Associates
The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the driver who was conveying Nigerian-British boxing star Anthony Joshua during the fatal road accident that claimed the lives of two of his associates. The confirmation was made in a brief statement issued on Thursday by the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, who said the driver of the Lexus SUV involved in the crash is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
According to police authorities, the arrest forms part of broader efforts to establish the full circumstances, cause, and possible culpability surrounding the deadly incident. While investigations are ongoing, the identity of the driver has not yet been officially disclosed.
The development comes days after SaharaReporters reported that the accident, which occurred on December 29, 2025, resulted in the deaths of two of Joshua’s close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Anthony Joshua himself sustained injuries in the crash but was later discharged from hospital after being declared clinically fit to continue recovery at home.
In a joint statement issued by the Lagos and Ogun State governments, officials said Joshua remained emotionally devastated by the loss of his friends. The statement revealed that Joshua and his mother visited a Lagos funeral home to pay their last respects as arrangements were made to repatriate the bodies of the deceased.
The Lagos and Ogun state governments expressed condolences to the families of the victims, thanking the public and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their support during the period. They also commended the medical personnel at Lagoon Hospital, Ikoyi, for the professionalism and quality of care provided to Joshua and other injured persons.
As investigations continue, authorities say further updates will be made available as police work to determine accountability in the tragic accident.
