According to Punch, boxer Anthony Joshua was discharged from hospital after treatment following a crash in Ogun State that drew major public attention.
In an update published by the outlet, the report said he was deemed clinically fit to recover at home while tributes continued for those who died in the incident.
The tragedy has renewed scrutiny of road safety enforcement and risk factors on major intercity corridors.
Reuters also reported he was discharged from hospital after the crash, noting he sustained only minor injuries.
Associated Press similarly reported that he was deemed fit to recover at home following observation, while summarising the incident context.
Echotitbits take:
Beyond celebrity shock, this is a policy window: publish the crash investigation outcome, strengthen enforcement against hazardous trucking practices, and improve emergency-response readiness on high-risk routes.
