Anthony Joshua Discharged From Hospital by InfoGuru118(op): 12:52am On Jan 01

Anthony Joshua has been discharged from the hospital after treatment for the injuries sustained during a road accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

In a statement on Wednesday, Gbenga Omotoso, Lagos commissioner for information, says the former heavyweight boxing champion has been “deemed clinical fit to recuperate from home”.

On Monday, a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua and his team rammed into a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Two of Joshua’s close associates — Kevin Latif Ayodele, his personal trainer, and Sina Ghami, his strength and conditioning coach — died in the accident.

The boxer survived the crash with minor injuries and was taken to a medical hospital in Lagos.

Omotoso revealed that Joshua had been receiving treatment at the Lagoon Hospital, Ikoyi, following the accident, and was discharged on Wednesday afternoon.

The commissioner added that the boxer and his mother then visited the funeral home in Lagos, where the remains of the late associates are stationed, to pay their final respects.

“Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu deeply appreciate the public concern and show of love and affection over this very sad and unfortunate incident,” Omotoso writes.

On Tuesday, the Ogun police command said a burst tyre caused the accident.

However, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) had said its preliminary findings show that excessive speed and wrongful overtaking were the cause of the motor accident.

Although born in England, Joshua often visits his native home in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. He was also in Nigeria last year, where he hung out with celebrities and also presented President Bola Tinubu with a signed boxing glove.

The latest visit comes a few days after Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in an exhibition heavyweight bout at the Kaseya Centre, Miami.

Sorry AJ. Only God can console you and the loved ones of the departed. So unfortunate and completely avoidable. More needs to be done to ensure speed signs are adequately displayed, the roads are fit for purpose and patrol vehicles and ambulances stationed on the highways for rapid response.

Even after the accident, the departed looked like they were crushed by overspeeding vehicles after they ejected out of the car. Government also need to do more to ensure proper licensing of drivers who operate motor vehicles. Especially those that drive trailer.

Re: Anthony Joshua Discharged From Hospital by oshkoach: 7:46am On Jan 01

We have had cases of untimely deaths caused by parked trailers on highways without proper road signs.

The case of AJ should be a clarion call to the government at all levels to tackle the menace of indiscriminate parking of trailers and long articulated vehicles on roads and highways.

So MANY have died. This is why life expectancy is low in Nigeria becos some deaths are avoidable.
