DOSU, OLYMPIC HERO, ESCAPES DEATH IN TERRIFYING CAR CRASH
Nigeria goalkeeper, Dosu Joseph, is full of thanks to God after he miraculously survived another life-threatening automobile accident on Wednesday at Kara, along the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way, where a heavy-duty truck ran into his SUV.
In a statement posted on social media on Friday, the 51-year-old, who led Nigeria to gold in the Men’s Football Tournament at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, described his trauma.
“To God be the glory, another death escaped by Grace and Mercy of God. Me and my friend SM were at Enyo Filling Station after Ojodu Berger bus stop to get fuel on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, around 6 p.m. when this MACK truck fully loaded with iron, with registration number LND 470 XX, left the road and crushed my car beyond repairs. Thank God for life,” he stated.
The soft-spoken club owner once escaped death after his involvement in an accident in 1997, which left his spinal cord damaged and halted his career at the age of 23.
After a spectacular Olympic campaign, he assisted Julius Berger in winning the Nigeria FA Cup in November 1997 by maintaining a clean sheet against Katsina United. The following year, he was involved in an automobile accident on Lagos’ Ikorodu Road that ended his time with Serie A team Reggiana and nearly paralyzed him
The driver of the vehicle is currently being held at the Isheri Police Station in Ogun State, where the case has been recorded, according to the former Nigerian international who also kept goal for Julius Berger FC.
He claims that the truck’s owner claims he won’t be able to repair the severely damaged SUV for another year.
