Orowale Kolapo, known on Facebook as Oni Foto, has revealed that he drove past the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway 20 minutes before British professional boxer Anthony Joshua had an accident that claimed the lives of his two team members, Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz” Ayodele, on Monday, December 29.
Joshua was hurt in the car crash and is receiving treatment in a hospital, with some people attributing the accident to the state of the road.
However, Kolapo described such claims as untrue and tagged them the handiwork of propagandists.
According to Kolapo, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is one of the smoothest roads in Nigeria, as a whole, adding that there are no bumps from Berger to Iwo Road.
While describing the accident as unfortunate, Kolapo believes it might have been due to the driver’s miscalculation.
He prayed for the souls of those who lost their lives in the accident.
Kolapo, who shared a video of the road, wrote:
“Anthony Joshua’s accident was like 20 mins after I drove past the same road and there is a misconception and propaganda going on that it was bad road that caused the mischap, “That is untrue. “Lagos/ibadan express way is one of the smoothest roads in Nigeria as a whole.You will not step into a Bump from Beger to Iwo Road.Â
“It is just unfortunate and I think it was a driver’s miscalculation. “May the souls of the dead rest well.”
