The Ogun State Police Command says the driver of the Lexus SUV linked to the accident involving Anthony Joshua is in custody as investigations continue.
Police spokesperson DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi confirmed this on Thursday but declined to disclose the driver’s identity.
The crash occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after the SUV hit a stationary truck, leaving Joshua hospitalised and claiming the lives of his friends, Lateef Ayodele and Cina Gami.
The Lagos and Ogun state governments have again condoled with the bereaved families, praying for “the repose of their souls” and strength for their loved ones.
Anthony Joshua was discharged from hospital late Wednesday and has been certified fit to recover at home.
He and his mother later visited a Lagos funeral home to pay their last respects to the deceased ahead of their repatriation.
Governors Dapo Abiodun and Babajide Sanwo-Olu thanked the public for the support shown and expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as medical staff at Lagoon Hospital, Ikoyi, for their professionalism.
