Nigerian music legend Peter Okoye, aka Mr P of Psquare fame, is reeling from a devastating road crash that claimed the lives of two vital members of British boxing champ Anthony Joshua inner circle, his longtime trainer Latif “Latz” Ayodele and strength coach Sina Ghami.
In a raw X post today, December 30, 2025, Mr P shared a tear-jerking video montage of happy times, captioning: “Latz & Sina, I can’t believe you’re gone.
Why?” The tragedy on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has sparked #RIPLatzSina frenzy, exposing Nigeria’s killer roads and uniting stars in grief.
Crash Carnage: Joshua’s Lexus Smashes into Parked Truck – Two Dead
The horror unfolded Monday, December 29, on the notorious Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Makun, Ogun State.
Anthony Joshua, in Nigeria for yuletide vibes and possible comeback training, was riding in a luxury Lexus SUV with four others when it slammed into a stationary truck.
Latz and Sina perished on impact; Joshua and two survivors escaped with injuries, rushed to hospital.
Eyewitnesses paint pandemonium: screeching tyres, mangled metal, bodies strewn. “Na expressway killer truck,” one trader told Wahalaupdate.
Police confirm probe: speeding? Brake failure? Foggy night? Ogun CP confirms Joshua “stable,” discharged today.
But for Latz – Joshua’s Naija-born trainer since amateur days, and Sina, the conditioning guru behind AJ’s granite physique, it’s game over. Ages 38 and 42, they were more than staff: brothers in gloves.
Mr P’s tribute lit the fuse. His montage, Joshua sparring laughs, backstage Psquare-AJ hangs – hit 3 million views in hours.
“To my brother @AnthonyJoshua, my heart breaks. Even in this storm, grateful God spared you,” he wrote, invoking prayers for legacy carry-on.
AJ reposted silently, thumbs-up emoji speaking volumes. Naija Twitter melted: “Psquare x AJ bond unbreakable.”
