Former Super Eagles goalkeeper escapes death in Lagos accident

Former Nigerian goalkeeper Joseph Dosu has revealed he narrowly escaped death in a road accident in Lagos on Wednesday, 2 October.

Dosu, a key member of the Atlanta 1996 Olympic gold-winning team, on Friday shared his ordeal on Facebook: “To God be the glory, another death escape by Grace and Mercy of God… I and my friend SM were at Enyo filling station after Ojodu Berger bus stop, to get fuel… when this MACK TRUCK with registration number LND 470 XX, fully loaded with IRON, left the road and crushed my car.”

This near-death experience is not Dosu’s first brush with tragedy. His promising football career was cut short by a serious car accident in 1997, which left him almost paralyzed.
