The driver in a crash that injured boxer Anthony Joshua and killed two of his friends was charged with dangerous and reckless driving, police spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement Friday.
The vehicle carrying Joshua, Sina Ghami and Latif « Latz » Ayodele hit a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which links Ogun State to Lagos.
The defendant was charged with four counts, including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and driving without a valid national driver’s license.
Joshua, a three-time heavyweight champion, was released from a hospital Wednesday after sustaining minor injuries in the crash, which raised questions about road safety in Nigeria. The boxer was discharged after being deemed clinically fit to recover at home, authorities said.
