JUST IN: Two Victims of Anthony Joshua Road Accident Identified as Foreign Nationals — Ogun Govt

 

The Ogun State Government has expressed deep condolences to the families, friends, and associates of the victims of a tragic road accident involving world heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, who narrowly escaped death on Monday.


The fatal crash occurred along the busy Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, within the Makun axis of Ogun State, and sadly claimed the lives of two individuals. Anthony Joshua was reportedly travelling from Lagos to Sagamu alongside three other occupants at the time of the incident.

Preliminary findings reveal that the deceased were two male foreign nationals who died instantly at the scene. Their remains have since been deposited at the Livewell Morgue in Sagamu.

Anthony Joshua and the driver of the vehicle were promptly rescued by security personnel attached to his convoy and rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are currently receiving medical attention.

According to reports, the sport utility vehicle conveying the occupants rammed into a stationary truck along the expressway. The severely damaged SUV has been evacuated to the Sagamu Motor Traffic Division (MTD) office, while efforts are ongoing to tow the truck involved to the same location to enable a thorough investigation into the incident.

Describing the accident as deeply unfortunate and painful, the Ogun State Government lamented the loss of precious lives, noting that other occupants sustained varying degrees of injuries and are presently receiving medical care.

The State Government has therefore urged motorists to exercise utmost caution and strictly adhere to traffic regulations, particularly during the festive season when vehicular movement is typically heavy. Road safety officers and other security agencies have also been enjoined to intensify surveillance and enforcement across the State to safeguard lives and property.

“Our hearts go out to the bereaved families who lost their loved ones in this tragic incident, which the State considers a devastating loss. As we mourn collectively, we pray for the repose of the souls of the departed and the speedy recovery of the injured. May Almighty God grant the families left behind the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss,” the statement read.

E-Signed

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
