Overview
Anthony Joshua returned home to the UK after a car crash in Nigeria killed two of his coaching team, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.
Authorities say the vehicle collided with a stationary truck near Lagos on Monday, killing Ghami and Ayodele; the driver has been arrested and charged.
Driver Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode faces charges including dangerous and reckless driving and causing death by dangerous driving; he is due to appear in Ogun state court January 20.
Joshua was hospitalized with minor injuries, discharged as fit to recover at home, and returned to the UK before the funerals; he had shared table-tennis clips with Ayodele hours earlier.
Joshua's presence reflected personal and professional ties to Nigeria — he has Nigerian roots and attended boarding school there as a child, maintaining local coaching connections.
