Anthony Joshua swapped seats from the front to the back of his SUV before the smash which killed Sani Ghami and Latif Adeyole
His driver, Kayode Adeniyi, 47 said: “The journey started in Lagos and initially Anthony had got into the front seat but I asked him to swap seats because Anthony is a big fellow and I couldn’t see the wing mirror properly so I asked him to move and he sat behind the driver’s seat”
The driver’s son, Ifeoluwa Adeniyi, 19, said: “The family is very upset by what’s happened and we are sorry for the deaths of the two people. Dad is not a fast driver, he was following the speed limit and then the brakes failed, he said he was pushing the pedal, but nothing was happening. He tries to swerve and avoid the truck parked by the side of the road but hit it. He’s been driving for Anthony for three years, he’s a good driver”
“I know that when the journey started in Lagos, Anthony was sitting in the front by the driver but my dad asked him to sit behind because he was blocking his view. He was taking Anthony to see his family in Sagamu and had picked them up from the airport and they were only a few minutes from arriving. It’s not his fault, if the truck hadn’t parked there illegally, this wouldn’t have happened.”
