Anthony Joshua: Police arrest Boxer’s driver over Lagos-Ibadan expressway crash
The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday confirmed the arrest of the driver of the ill-fated Lexus SUV conveying the World boxing champion, Anthony Joshua, and two of his close friends before it crashed on Monday around Danco, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday.
“The driver of the Lexus SUV in connection with the Anthony Joshua accident case is currently in custody. Investigations are ongoing”, the statement partly read.
Recall that Joshua was on Monday, at about 11 am, involved in a road crash that claimed two other occupants of the ill-fated car.
It was also gathered that the vehicle conveying the renowned boxer, a Lexus SUV with registration number KRD 850 HN, collided with a stationary truck.
The two foreign nationals who died in the accident have also been identified as Ayodele Kelvin Olu (36), a Nigerian/British citizen, and Gami Sina (36), a British citizen.
The Lagos and Ogun state governments, however, on Wednesday, announced the discharge of Anthony Joshua from the hospital following the tragic road accident.
