Lizzy Anjorin Blames Anthony Joshua’s Mother Over Fatal Nigerian Car Crash

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has criticized Anthony Joshua’s mother over the tragic car accident that nearly claimed the boxer’s life during his visit to Nigeria. In a video, Anjorin questioned the decision to allow the 36-year-old heavyweight champion to travel to his hometown for the festivities, suggesting it exposed him to unnecessary danger. She argued that Joshua should have stayed in safer areas such as Lekki or Ikoyi. “Anthony Joshua’s mother is to blame. She didn’t put her son in a better place like Lekki or Ikoyi, she watched him go back to his village for the festivities. What reasonable mother would watch her son go back to that kind of place? Why couldn’t she put him somewhere like Ikoyi or Banana Island?” she said. The accident, which took place in Ogun State, tragically claimed the lives of two of Joshua’s close friends. “Anthony Joshua’s mother is at fault, she watched him go back to his village for the festivities not somewhere like Ikoyi or banana island. What reasonable mother would do that?” 🤦🏽‍♂️🙆🏿‍♂️ -Lizzy Anjorin comes for Anthony Joshua mother pic.twitter.com/1wV0mzZ1mx — HO🅿️E (@hopefortv) January 4, 2026
