Anthony Joshua Pays Tribute to Friends Lost in Fatal Nigerian Car Crash

Wale busari01 mins

Anthony Joshua has made his first public post since a tragic car accident in Nigeria left two of his close friends dead. The 36-year-old former two-time heavyweight champion was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that collided with a stationary truck on a major Lagos expressway. The crash claimed the lives of his teammates Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, whose funerals were held at a London mosque on Sunday. Joshua suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized, but he was discharged on Wednesday and returned to the UK over the weekend. On Sunday, he shared two photos on Instagram. One image shows him sitting with his mother and three women, one holding a picture of Ghami, captioned: “My Brothers Keeper.” The vehicle’s driver, 46-year-old Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, appeared in Sagamu Magistrates’ Court on Friday, facing charges including causing death by dangerous driving, according to police sources.

Anthony Joshua Escapes Death After Seat Swap Before Fatal Crash That Killed Two Friends

Anthony Joshua narrowly avoided death in a car crash that killed two of his friends after a last-minute seat swap, UK’s Daily Mail reports. The former world heavyweight boxing champion, 36, had initially been seated in the front of his SUV but moved to the back shortly before the crash. The accident claimed the lives of Sani Ghami and Latif Adeyole, who had just arrived in Nigeria for a holiday. Joshua’s driver, 47-year-old Kayode Adeniyi, appeared in court on Friday and denied all charges, including dangerous driving. Wearing a black Muslim kaftan, Adeniyi pleaded not guilty, maintaining that brake failure caused the accident. He has driven Joshua for over three years and was granted bail, later escorted to Sagamu Correctional Centre for paperwork. Adeniyi’s lawyer, Olalekan Abiodun, told the Daily Mail, “My client has pleaded not guilty and what happened was an accident. He says the brakes did not work. When the journey started in Lagos, Anthony was sitting in the front seat, but the driver asked him to move behind because he couldn’t see the wing mirror properly.” The report notes that one of Joshua’s friends later swapped seats with him—the side of the SUV that was hit during the crash. Outside court, Adeniyi’s family expressed their distress. His 19-year-old son, Ifeoluwa, said, “The family is very upset by what’s happened and we are sorry for the deaths of the two people. Dad is not a fast driver; he was following the speed limit. The brakes failed, and he tried to swerve to avoid a truck parked illegally by the side of the road but couldn’t avoid it. He’s been driving for Anthony for three years and is a good driver. If the truck hadn’t been parked there, this wouldn’t have happened.” The tragic incident occurred just minutes after the group had been picked up from the airport and were on their way to visit Joshua’s family in Sagamu.

Anthony Joshua’s ‘Reckless’ Driver Revealed, Late Friends Flown to UK

Boxer Anthony Joshua’s driver is expected to be charged with reckless driving ‘within the next 48 hours’, police sources in Nigeria have revealed. The Daily Mail can identify the chauffeur as Kayode Adeniyi, 47, who has been a long standing member of Joshua’s Nigerian logistics team when he visits the west African country. Adeniyi was discharged from hospital in Lagos late on New Year’s Eve and was driven two hours north to Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state, the region where Monday’s fatal crash took place. He was questioned for several hours and gave an official statement of what he says happened in the minutes leading up to the crash which left two of Joshua’s closest friends dead. A police source said: ‘The driver was released after treatment for minor injuries and was then taken to the state police headquarters for questioning. ‘He is in a stable condition and was able to provide us with his version of events that led up to the crash and we expect a charging decision within the next 48 hours but the new year holiday may delay proceedings. ‘It is possible he could be in court on Friday but it depends how quickly the process moves and it would be for reckless driving.’ Adeniyi was at the wheel of the Lexus and allegedly way over the 65mph speed limit for the Lagos-Ibadan expressway when he lost control after a tyre busy during an overtaking manoeuvre. The Lexus carrying Joshua, 36, and two of his training staff, Sina Ghami and Kevin Latif Ayodele the smashed into an illegally parked truck on the hard shoulder which was carrying soya beans. The force of the impact tore the nearside section of the car away and Ghami and Ayodele were killed instantly while Joshua and Adeniyi suffered only minor injuries. Joshua was sat behind the driver and escaped death by inches with local first responders describing his survival as a ‘miracle’. Joshua and the two men had arrived in Nigeria on Monday on a Virgin Atlantic flight from London and the Daily Mail has obtained a picture of him as he smiled with a baggage handler at arrivals called Solomon. Solomon told the Daily Mail: ‘They were all smiling and laughing and joking as they walked through arrivals towards the exit. ‘I see Joshua quite often here as he comes to Nigeria regularly he was happy to pose for a picture and then he walked away waving and smiling. ‘I couldn’t believe it when I saw the news a few hours later that he had been involved in a fatal accident.’ The driver of the illegally parked truck, as exclusively revealed by the Daily Mail on New Year’s Eve, has now disappeared and there is an active police manhunt on for him. The Daily Mail can also reveal that the coffins carrying Ghami and Ayodele were flown out of Lagos on a Turkish Airlines cargo flight that landed in Istanbul early on New Year’s Day and they are expected to fly on to London later.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, after a video showing him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live-stream sparked widespread outrage. The incident occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025, and prompted swift police action, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi. The police said the influencer’s conduct posed a serious danger to public safety. “The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained, for further investigation, Habeeb Hamzat aka ‘PELLER’, subsequent to the viral video that surfaced online on Sunday 14th December, 2025, in which he was seen driving recklessly, leading to a dangerous road crash and serious motor accident, while the incident was being live-streamed, thereby endangering his life and that of other road users.” The command described the act as highly dangerous, warning that it could have had fatal consequences. “His action constitutes a deliberate attempt to commit suicide and endangers the lives of other innocent people.” Police authorities disclosed that the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a thorough investigation. “The case is currently being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID). The outcome of the investigation will be made public, and the suspect will be charged to the court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the law.” Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, cautioned social media influencers and members of the public against exploiting online platforms to engage in unlawful acts. “The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Olohundare Jimoh, strongly warns social media influencers, content creators and general members of the public to desist from using social media platforms to engage in or promote reckless, dangerous, or unlawful and criminal acts.” He stressed that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated and reaffirmed the command’s commitment to enforcing the law. “Such lawlessness will not be tolerated, and the full weight of the law will be applied on any offender. The Command further urges all road users to comply strictly with traffic regulations and remains committed to ensuring public peace and safety at all times.” The incident has renewed public concern over the increasing trend of dangerous stunts by content creators seeking online engagement, with many Nigerians calling for stricter enforcement to deter similar actions. Authorities have reiterated that anyone found endangering lives on Lagos roads will be prosecuted, regardless of social status or online influence.
