Nigerian influencer and activist, Adetoun, has publicly criticised Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, following the fatal road accident involving world-renowned boxer Anthony Joshua.
The accident has left two families grieving and many Nigerians asking uncomfortable questions.
The accident, which occurred on Monday, December 29, 2025, reportedly took place around 11 a.m. along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, near Danco Filling Station, before the Sagamu Interchange in Makun, Ogun State.

Eyewitness accounts revealed that Anthony Joshua was travelling in a Lexus SUV when the vehicle reportedly collided with a stationary truck.
Seated in the front of the car were two of his close friends, identified as Latz and Sina. Both men were said to have died instantly at the scene.
Joshua, who survived the crash, sustained injuries and was later taken to a hospital for treatment. However, it was what happened immediately after the crash that ignited public anger.
Videos that surfaced online from the scene painted a disturbing picture. Rather than a standard emergency medical response, a police truck was reportedly used to transport Joshua to the hospital.
There was no visible ambulance, and no emergency toll-free line was mentioned or activated at the scene.
Reacting in a now-viral video, Adetoun did not hold back.
The activist condemned what she described as Ogun State’s poor emergency healthcare response, alleging that the state lacks functional ambulances and often depends on neighbouring Lagos State during critical health situations.
She also accused Governor Dapo Abiodun of neglecting his responsibilities, claiming he was out of the country at the time of the accident.
According to her, the tragedy was not just about one accident involving a global sports icon, but a reflection of what ordinary citizens face daily when emergencies strike.
