A newly married couple, Chiedozie and Chidalu, lost their lives in a devastating gas truck explosion at Otedola Bridge in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The tragic incident occurred on March 11, 2025, just weeks after their wedding on February 22, 2025.
Chiedozie, who worked at Zenith Bank, and Chidalu, a nurse based in the United States, had only recently begun their journey as husband and wife when disaster struck.
The explosion, which involved a gas-laden truck, led to widespread destruction, claiming multiple lives and causing severe injuries.
On March 22, exactly one month after their wedding, the couple was laid to rest, with grieving family and friends mourning their sudden and heartbreaking departure.
The tragedy has left a deep impact, sparking renewed concerns over safety regulations for transporting hazardous materials on Nigerian roads.
Their untimely passing serves as a painful reminder of the dangers posed by poorly regulated fuel and gas transportation, with many calling for stricter measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
