Anthony Joshua Stable After Fatal Accident — Ogun, Lagos Govts

After thorough clinical examinations at a Lagos medical facility, the heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and another passenger are stable, according to Ogun and Lagos state.

This was contained in a statement that the Lagos State Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotoso, and the Special Adviser to the Governor of Ogun State for Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinlade, both signed.

They were immediately taken to a specialized medical facility in Lagos. Doctors have established that both patients are stable and do not require any urgent medical care at this time following thorough clinical evaluations. The statement read, “A full medical team has been assembled and will continue to closely monitor them.”

The governments of Ogun and Lagos state want to confirm that Anthony Joshua, a British-Nigerian two-time unified world heavyweight boxing champion, was involved in a traffic accident earlier today along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

Read more about Anthony Joshua’s injuries in an ogun car crash and the deaths of two others.

The 35-year-old internationally acclaimed boxer was driving a team of four when it reportedly collided with a stationary truck, causing two fatalities.

The statement further stated that “we pray that Almighty God gives the families of those who lost their lives in this tragic incident” and that “we have the strength to bear this difficult loss.”

Anthony Joshua is conscious and has communicated with his family, according to both governments.

The governors of Ogun and Lagos state are closely monitoring the situation, and they will provide the best medical care for the victims. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident have also begun.

We appreciate the concern expressed by public officials, and we kindly request Anthony Joshua’s and his family’s privacy at this time.

On Monday, Joshua was involved in a road accident in the Ogun State’s Makun region.

Two people were killed in an incident that occurred around 11 a.m. along the heavily traveled Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Joshua’s SUV allegedly collided with a stationary truck.

The 35-year-old former heavyweight champion was rescued from the wrecked car on video, which appears to have sustained injuries.

The incident occurred just eight days after Jake Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, defeated the former heavyweight world champion in a Netflix-backed fight in Miami.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) attributed the collision to a wrongful overtaking and overspeed in a statement.

It claimed that preliminary investigations indicated that a Lexus Jeep that was suspected of going over the legal speed limit on the corridor lost control while attempting to overtake and collided with a truck that was well packed by the side of the road.

The crash’s “primary causes, which are excessive speed and wrongful overtaking,” are serious traffic violations and continue to be one of the leading causes of fatal road crashes on Nigerian highways, according to FRSC.

Molly-Mae Hague admits ‘never again’ as she books long-haul flight with Bambi

Although she and her partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi flew to the Maldives, Molly-Mae Hague has vowed never to book a night flight with a child.

Molly-Mae Hague shared a glimpse of her lavish holiday with fans after posting a series of snaps from her Christmas holiday in the Maldives. The first sweet snap on her stories was a black-and-white image of Tommy, 26, cuddling his daughter on the sofa as the pair slept.

And this was when Molly-Mae reminded herself not to book a night flight with a toddler. She wrote: “Reminds self to never book a night flight with toddler again.” In another picture, the former reality TV star turned entrepreneur looked completely relaxed while standing on the beach holding her daughter.

Molly-Mae can be seen sporting a black baseball cap and a black dress in the photo. Fans witnessed her staring into her daughter’s arms while holding her daughter in her arms in front of a backdrop of a crystal blue sea.

That post, which she named “Landed in Paradise,” was the caption. Tommy and their daughter can be seen relaxing on a hammock in the third photo.

Remi Wolf’s song was played during the video. Fans discovered their festive season in the Maldives at this time.

Earlier this month it was reported that Tommy and Molly would be spending Christmas together following their public split earlier this year. Back in 2019, the pair first met on Love Island and had been inseparable since.

Taking to her YouTube, Molly-Mae told fans: “It’s actually hilarious we’re hosting Christmas Day because I couldn’t be any less organised for that. But do you know what? Tommy’s family are so chilled, and I’m just so chilled that I don’t really think anyone really cares.”

The mum of one went on to say: “I don’t think they’re really expecting much, to be honest. I think we’re just all going to be together. We’re going to have Christmas dinner.

She continued, “I believe I’m cooking half, and Tommy’s mother is cooking half, and she is preparing the meat and potatoes.” But I also need to prepare for that.

Just a few weeks after his proposal, Molly-Mae confirmed their split in a statement from August of last year. Never in a million years did she think I’d ever have to write this, she said to the audience at the time.

After five years of our relationship, Molly-Mae continued, “I never imagined our story would end, especially not in this way.” I’m so devastated to learn that Tommy and I have a new relationship.

She continued, “My beautiful daughter is the most important thing to me right now and forever. She will always be my priority because without us, she wouldn’t exist.

I want to thank everyone who has shown us so much love over the past five years. You have all played a role in our journey, and she said, “I think it’s appropriate to share this with you all.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a reputation for having aides who quit on them, which is not good for them in the USA.

What you need to know about the aides who have left their positions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

    After decades of service, their most dependable advisor has stopped working with them, severely hurting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The royal couple has dealt with a lot of staff, but eleven publicists have also left their jobs.

  • James Holt, who had been hailed as Prince Harry and Meghan’s “rock,” quit over the 2025 Christmas season. He had previously served as the couple’s executive director of the couple’s charity, the Archewell Foundation, during their contentious exit from the UK, during Harry’s autobiography, Spare, and before that.
  • Holt assisted the couple in managing their lives as they turned their backs on the UK and moved to California, where he moved with them to continue working. He was their PR from 2019 until 2021. He also addressed their working relationship in their Netflix documentary. However, he is said to have left their organization and left to move back to the UK with his wife and child and start a new life. However, he will have a transition period during which he will continue to support the couple and their charity.
  • He stated in a statement that he had spotted a kindred spirit that would never waver in the face of difficulty and who would never waver in spite of circumstance when they met Meghan. The work we’ve done together to help victims of online harm will continue to be my most meaningful professional endeavor above everything else. These families inspire me every day and are extraordinary. My family and I are now moving back to London after five incredible years in Los Angeles. I’ll be a huge fan and optimistic about what lies ahead when I take the team-leader position at Archewell Philanthropies in the upcoming months.
  • Holt is not the only person to stop working for Harry and Meghan. After just ten months, Meredith Maines, the pair’s chief communications officer, was made known earlier this week.
  • After just three months of working with the couple, Emily Robinson, Harry and Meghan’s director of communications and former PR executive, quit earlier this year. She made her decision, a source told the Daily Mail in October. She left a few weeks ago. Because she doesn’t give up, things must have been pretty bad for her.
  • The Sussexes have a reputation for having high staff turnover since moving to the US, with Josh Kettler, Harry’s former chief of staff, only spending three months there. In a Vanity Fair magazine cover story earlier this year, a report in the Hollywood Reporter claimed Meghan “belittles people” and “doesn’t take advice.”
  • Josh previously addressed the couple’s claims that they were difficult to work for, saying: “They are dedicated and hardworking. It was fascinating to witness. And he continued, adding that both them and their Archewell team “warmly welcomed” him.
  • Ashley Hansen was hired by the Sussexes as their global press secretary in May 2022, but she resigned in October 2024. The PR announced at the time that she was leaving the duo to launch her own business, Three Gate Strategies.
  • Kyle Boulia left the couple’s press office in April 2024 and became their press secretary and director of communications in June 2025. After he left, he updated his LinkedIn profile to read, “Most recently, I served as Director of Communications at Archewell, where I oversaw global press operations, crisis response, and global launches with Netflix, Spotify, and major philanthropic initiatives,” shaping narratives that reached hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
  • From April 2024 to July 2025, Charlie Gipson served as the couple’s European Communications Director. He stated on his LinkedIn profile that he had “led the UK and European media strategy, delivered high-impact communications for their global charitable initiatives,” that he had also “provided senior counsel on strategic planning and crisis management, supported international engagements, and led campaigns that reached billions worldwide.”
  • Toya Holness served the couple’s press for nine months, starting in October 2020 until July 2021, before moving on to become the pair’s head of communications. She was praised by royal fans for dressing similarly to Meghan. However, she left Activision Blizzard after 11 months and began working there.
  • In May of this year, Prince Harry appointed Josh Kettler as his chief of staff, and he was responsible for shepherding the Prince “through his next phase” while adapting to life outside of the UK. He took part in meetings involving Harry’s Invictus Games project and provided tours abroad, but he abruptly left after just three months.
  • Christine Schirmer is another well-known senior communications advisor who has collaborated with the couple. She started her position at Archewell in October 2020, moving up to senior advisor in 2021, and leaving in 2023.
  • Miranda Barbot started out as a communications manager for Archewell and rose to the position of director of global communications in October 2022. She served the couple’s charity until October 2024. However, according to reports, she switched from being the couple’s chief of staff to working there.
  • Deesha Tank served as the Sussexes’ main PR agent until June of this year, but she resigned. After quitting her position with the royals in June, she started out as a communications manager for the couple in 2022 and later rose to the position of director of communications in 2024.

Trump says US would back strikes against Iran’s missile programme

BREAKING,

Donald Trump, president of the United States, suggested that if Iran rebuilt its nuclear arsenal or missile arsenal, Washington might consider using force against it.

Trump did not rule out a follow-up attack after the three Iranian nuclear facilities were damaged by air strikes in June during a speech in Florida on Monday.

Trump told reporters, “I’ve heard that Iran is trying to grow up again, and if they do, we have to knock them down.” We’ll knock them out,” the message is. We’ll kill them in the end. However, I’m hopeful that won’t occur.

Trump threatened to attack Netanyahu as he welcomed him to his Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago estate.

Trump cited the strikes against Iran in June and the wars in Gaza and Lebanon as examples of how the US and Israel have been “extremely victorious” against their adversaries.

When Trump was asked whether Israel’s missile program against Tehran would be supported by the US, Trump responded, “If they will continue with the missiles, yes, the nuclear, then fast. One will say yes, and the other will say absolutely. The other is “We’ll do it right away.”

A further round of Iranian strikes would likely cause internal strife in the US, including from Trump’s own backers’ supporters.

Trump has argued in recent weeks that Iran’s nuclear program has been “obliterated” by the June strikes.

Israeli officials and their US allies have been raising concerns about Iran’s missiles since Trump delivered the address.

In response to the unprovoked Israeli attack that claimed the lives of several nuclear scientists, hundreds of civilians, and the country’s top generals, Tehran launched hundreds of missiles into Israel in June.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump, traveled to Israel this month and reiterated her warning about the dangers of Iran’s long-range missiles, saying that it is “producing them in very high numbers.”

He cited Israel’s air defense system as saying, “We cannot allow Iran to produce ballistic missiles because they could overwhelm the Iron Dome.” It poses a significant threat, the author claimed.

Iran’s missile program, which is at the heart of its defense strategy, has been decided not to negotiate.

Trumps said Iran and the US should “make a deal” on Monday.

Trump remarked, “That’s much smarter if they want to make a deal.” They could have made a deal the last time, before we had a significant attack on them, and they made the decision not to do so,” she said. They would prefer to have that deal.

Following the release of a National Security Strategy that recommends shifting foreign policy focus to the Western Hemisphere and avoiding the region, the Trump administration has the possibility of starting a Middle Eastern war.

Iran launched an a&nbsp missile attack on a US base in Qatar in June to counteract US strikes, which did not cause any American casualties. Shortly after the Iranian response, Trump declared a ceasefire to put an end to the conflict.

However, opponents warn that a further round of Iranian hostility could lead to a longer-lasting conflict.

The Iranian response would be “much harsher” if the country were to be attacked again, according to Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the US think tank for diplomacy.
