Nigerian Road Safety Campaign Targets Reckless Driving After Anthony Joshua's Friends Involved in Crash

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nigeria is intensifying its road safety campaign due to the alarming rate of road traffic crashes, with over 3,400 people affected from January to September 2025. FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Moham stresses the importance of addressing reckless driving behaviors to ensure highway safety.

A recent tragic incident involving the friends of former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua in Ogun State has brought renewed attention to the issue. Speeding and improper overtaking are identified as primary factors contributing to fatal crashes on Nigerian roads.

The campaign aims to raise awareness and sensitize drivers to prioritize safety to reduce the high number of road accidents.
