Popular Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, one-half of the legendary music duo P-Square, has been left heartbroken following a tragic car accident involving British-Nigerian boxing superstar Anthony Joshua along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
In a raw and emotional social media post, Okoye wrote, “This accident has shattered me completely. Latz & Sina, I can’t believe you’re gone. Why? To my brother Anthony, my heart breaks for you.”
He accompanied the tribute with a video montage capturing cherished memories, from gym sessions with the trio to casual dinners filled with laughter, as well as throwback clips from Joshua’s April 2025 visit to Okoye’s Ikoyi mansion in Lagos.
The devastating crash claimed the lives of two of Joshua’s closest associates: his trainer, Latif “Latz” Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami. Joshua survived the incident, though reports indicate he sustained injuries, sending shockwaves through Nigeria’s sports and entertainment communities.
The fatal accident occurred during Joshua’s low-key visit to Nigeria, aimed at reconnecting with his roots ahead of his boxing comeback.
Reports suggest the vehicle carrying Joshua and his team collided with a stationary heavy-duty truck, resulting in the immediate deaths of Latz and Ghami.
The tragedy has also reignited conversations about Nigeria’s road safety and infrastructure.
On X (formerly Twitter), users shared their grief and frustration, with one user, @n_ikay, commenting: “Very sad, a full country with no emergency services, no infrastructure development. All they know is to steal money, North to South, East to West…”
Okoye’s connection with Joshua runs deeper than this visit.
The boxer has trained with Okoye’s circle during previous trips to Nigeria, blending the worlds of music and sport. In his tribute, the singer reassured Joshua of his support, writing, “We’re with you always.”
