Nigerian singer Darey Art Alade and his wife, Deola, have revealed that their car was completely destroyed by fire on Lagos’ Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram, the couple disclosed that the fire broke out around 4 p.m. but fortunately, their driver escaped unhurt. No lives were lost in the incident.
“Yesterday, around 4pm, our car caught fire on the 3rd Mainland Bridge and burnt to the ground,” Deola wrote.
“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.”
Rather than dwell on the material loss, the couple said they chose to speak out to offer hope and perspective to others who may be facing similar challenges.
“We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot,” the post read.
“Moments like this remind us how quickly things can change and how unimportant material things become in the face of life itself.”
The couple encouraged those dealing with unexpected loss to find the strength to rebuild, adding: “We can begin again and find the strength to keep going one breath, one prayer, one step at a time.”
The incident has drawn wide attention and support from fans and colleagues, especially coming just days after the couple celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary.
