Newlywed Couple Laid To Rest Following Otedola Bridge Explosion by zero8zero(op): 9:25pm On Mar 24, 2025
The couple tragically lost their lives in a gas tanker explosion on March 11, 2025.

They were buried amidst outpouring of grief from family and friends.

The couple had tied the knot just weeks earlier, on February 22, 2025, before meeting their untimely demise in the fatal blast that occurred on the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

It was gathered that the couple got married on February 22, 2025.

According to reports, Dozie and Joan were on the way home when their phone lines suddenly became reachable.

After searching for them at the Burns Center in Gbagada and Yaba Mortuary, their charred remains were finally found on Wednesday evening.

The only identification was their car's registration number, which was found among the burnt vehicles.

The explosion, which occurred at 8:08 pm on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, was caused by a 30-tonne tanker carrying gas products, said to be owned by a nearby gas station.

The blast severely affected De-Twist Dental Clinic, while the generator house and security post of a nearby church building also sustained significant damage.

Responders recovered four charred bodies, including that of an auto mechanic identified as Rotimi Adeleye.
