FCT, Abuja - Ambassador-designate, Reno Omokri, has slammed the de-marketing of Nigeria after boxing champion Anthony Joshua survived a fatal road accident.
Legit.ng reports that Joshua got injured while he lost two of his associates in the tragic accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Monday, December 29, 2025.
Omokri urged Nigerians to get full details of what occurred to Joshau before making damaging statements.
He said international news channels are saying horrible things about Nigeria while quoting Nigerian X users.
He stated this in a post shared via his X handle @renoomokri on Monday, December 29, 2025.
“But your first instincts are to attack Nigeria and paint the worst possible picture to the outside world, and now headlines from as far away as India and Australia are quoting Nigerian X users and lampooning Nigeria and saying that no first responders came to Mr Joshua's rescue and that the whole scene was emblematic of a failed state. “
Omokri said the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) arrived within the first few minutes of the accident.
The former presidential aide dismissed the claim that no first responders came to Joshua's rescue.
“The deaths that occurred during the accident, according to preliminary official reports, were not caused by any negligence. The individuals concerned died on the spot, and the official cause is collision trauma from "excessive speed". May God grant fortitude to their families.”
