A newlywed couple, Dozie and Joan Okoye, lost their lives in the gas explosion on the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
It was gathered that the couple tied the knot on February 22, 2025.
According to reports, Dozie and Joan were on their way home when their phone lines suddenly became unreachable.
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.
