Two-time world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua touched down in Nigeria on Wednesday, February 19 and was given a heroic welcome by his delighted kinsmen.

The visit came barely six months after he came to Nigeria and paid a courtesy visit to Makoko area of Lagos State ahead of his much-anticipated fight against Mexican heavyweight star, Andy Ruiz Jr.

Joshua arrived in Nigeria on Wednesday morning, and took to work by getting himself enrolled into the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) data, though the process was dragged into the whirlpool of criticism.
