Ogun State

Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, is the location where a recent car accident involving British boxer Anthony Joshua occurred. The incident, which took place in late December 2025, resulted in the deaths of two of Joshua's close friends and team members. Joshua himself sustained injuries and was briefly hospitalized before being discharged to recover at home, according to a joint statement from Ogun and Lagos states. The driver of the car, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, has been charged by Nigerian police with reckless and dangerous driving, including death by dangerous driving, and has appeared in court. The incident has garnered significant media attention due to Joshua's prominence as a former heavyweight champion and the tragic loss of life.
