Anthony Joshua Crash: British Journalist Visits Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Condemns Reckless Driving After Fatal Ogun Accident
A British journalist, Nick Pisa of the Daily Mail, has expressed shock over the level of reckless driving on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after visiting the crash scene where former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua narrowly survived a fatal accident. The crash, which occurred on December 29, 2025, claimed the lives of two of Joshua’s close friends, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, after their Lexus SUV collided with a stationary truck in Makun, Ogun State.
Reporting live from the scene on January 1, 2026, Pisa described the driving culture as “absolutely crazy,” citing speeding, wrong-way driving, overloaded vehicles, and pedestrians risking their lives to cross the highway. While praising the road’s physical condition, he blamed poor driving discipline for frequent deadly accidents.
Joshua survived the crash alongside the driver, who is now in police custody as investigations continue. The boxer, who was in Nigeria on holiday, has since received widespread support from global boxing figures and is expected to resume training ahead of planned fights later in 2026.
