Fresh details indicate that the driver responsible for the devastating collision that left ex-heavyweight boxing titan Anthony Joshua injured could be prosecuted for negligent and reckless driving, as revealed by an insider close to the inquiry.
A confidential source revealed that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) investigation confirmed the vehicle was traveling at dangerously high speeds and engaged in illegal overtaking maneuvers—violations classified as grave traffic offenses that warrant legal consequences, particularly when fatalities result.
Investigators are reportedly assembling the final paperwork for the Nigeria Police Motor Traffic Division, which is consulting with legal experts to determine the most fitting charges.
Among the potential charges under review is reckless or dangerous driving leading to death.
Additionally, the source verified that Joshua suffered a leg fracture during the tragic crash.
While no official announcement has been made, the accident has intensified discussions on road safety reforms and driver accountability across Nigeria’s highways.
The collision took place on Monday, December 29, 2025, on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, tragically killing two members of Joshua’s inner circle—Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.
