British heavyweight Joshua was with Ghami and Ayodele when the vehicle they were travelling in struck a stationary truck on a major road near Lagos on December 29. “Thank you for all the love and care you have shown my brothers,” Joshua posted on Instagram. I’ll just be walking with them and cracking jokes with them, not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men. May God have mercy on my brothers.”Last Friday, the Ogun State Police Command confirmed Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, who was driving the car with Joshua as a passenger, had been charged over the crash. Joshua, who was born in Watford to Nigerian parents, was on holiday in the African country following his sixth-round knockout win over Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami on December 19.
