The Ogun State Government has expressed profound condolences to the families, friends, and associates of the victims of a tragic road accident involving former two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua, who narrowly escaped death on Monday.
Anthony Joshua is a Nigerian born British boxer.
The condolences message signed by Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser, Information and Strategy to the Ogun State Governor, stated that the accident occurred along the busy Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, within the Makun axis of Ogun State which sadly claimed the lives of two persons.
Anthony Joshua and three other individuals were reportedly travelling from Lagos to Sagamu at the time of the incident.
The Ogun State Government describes the incident as deeply unfortunate and painful, particularly with the loss of precious lives, while others sustained varying degrees of injuries and are receiving medical care.
Motorists are therefore urged to exercise utmost caution and adhere strictly to traffic regulations, especially during the festive season when vehicular movement is typically heavy.
Road safety officers and other security agencies are also enjoined to intensify surveillance and enforcement efforts across the State to ensure the safety of lives and property.
