Legit.ng earlier reported that an uncle of former world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua alleged that personal belongings were stolen at the scene of the road accident involving the boxer.
Speaking in an interview with The Punch, Adedamola Joshua said the family was disturbed not only by the fatal crash but also by reports of theft at the scene.
“Some Nigerians act badly at accident scenes. When they are supposed to help, you will see them bringing out their phones to make videos and even steal from the victims. That is not right," he said.
He specifically alleged that Anthony Joshua’s mobile phone was taken shortly after the accident.
“We even heard that Anthony Joshua’s phone was stolen during the accident; such attitudes must be discouraged,” he added.

News of crash comes as shock to family
Adedamola Joshua said the family learnt of the accident hours after it occurred, describing the moment as surreal.
“Around 1 pm, one of my church members, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, called to inform me of the accident.
“It sounded so impossible. How can Anthony Joshua be involved in an accident? But it actually happened," he said.
He explained that the boxer had arrived in Nigeria only six hours earlier and was on his way to see family members in Sagamu when the incident occurred.
According to his uncle, Joshua had returned home to spend the festive period quietly with his family, as he often does.
