Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has voiced strong criticism of Anthony Joshua’s mother following the deadly car accident that nearly took the boxer’s life during his visit to Nigeria.
In a recent video, Anjorin questioned why the 36-year-old heavyweight champion was allowed to travel to his hometown for the festive season, suggesting the trip put him at unnecessary risk. She argued that Joshua would have been safer in more secure areas such as Lekki, Ikoyi, or even Banana Island.
“Anthony Joshua’s mother is to blame. She didn’t put her son in a better place like Lekki or Ikoyi, she watched him go back to his village for the festivities. What reasonable mother would watch her son go back to that kind of place? Why couldn’t she put him somewhere like Ikoyi or Banana Island?” she said.
The tragic accident occurred in Ogun State and claimed the lives of two of Joshua’s close friends, leaving the boxer with minor injuries.
“Anthony Joshua’s mother is at fault, she watched him go back to his village for the festivities not somewhere like Ikoyi or banana island. What reasonable mother would do that?” 🤦🏽♂️🙆🏿♂️
