West Ham’s Michail Antonio Hospitalized After Ferrari Crash
West Ham United forward Michail Antonio, 34, has been hospitalized following a serious car accident involving a Ferrari in Epping, Essex.
In a statement, the club confirmed Antonio is “currently under close supervision at a central London hospital.” West Ham added, “At this difficult time, we kindly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Michail and his family. The club will provide further updates in due course.”
The Essex County Fire and Rescue Service reported attending the scene on Saturday afternoon, releasing a man trapped in the vehicle. “Crews were called at 1:02 PM after reports of a road traffic collision involving one car,” a spokesperson said.
Essex Police confirmed they are investigating the crash and have appealed for witnesses or dashcam footage to assist their inquiries.
West Ham previously issued a statement extending their “thoughts and prayers” to Antonio, his family, and friends.
Antonio, a Jamaican international, has been a key player for West Ham since joining from Nottingham Forest in 2015, scoring 68 goals in 268 Premier League appearances.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.

The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
