Renowned Nigerian musician Darey Art Alade and his wife, Deola, have expressed gratitude to God and their well-wishers after surviving a car fire on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.
Deola, in an Instagram post on Saturday, shared videos of the incident, which occurred around 4 pm on Friday. She revealed that their vehicle caught fire and was completely destroyed.
“Yesterday, around 4pm, our car caught fire on the Third Mainland Bridge and burnt to the ground.
“It was a shocking and painful experience, but we’re incredibly grateful that the driver made it out safely. No lives were lost, and that’s what truly matters,” she wrote.
In her message, Deola highlighted the value of life over material possessions, stating, “Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself.”
She explained that their decision to share the experience was to offer encouragement to others facing sudden loss.
Deola wrote, “We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot. We’re choosing to remain thankful to God for protection, for perspective, and for the quiet strength to keep going.
“If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going. One breath, one prayer, one step at a time. We give thanks in all things. Thank you to everyone that stopped to help.”
Fans and celebrities have since flooded the couple’s post with prayers and well-wishes.
