The family of late Afrofuji musician Destiny Boy, born Afeez Adeshina, has appealed to the public for help after his SUV reportedly went missing shortly after his death.
In a video circulating on social media on Tuesday, the singer’s father said the vehicle, bought from Lycon Autos, was returned to the dealership days after Destiny Boy passed away and has not been seen since. He explained that the driver assigned to deliver the SUV later claimed the singer owed him money and, without informing the family, returned the car to the dealership.
“I have no contact with the driver and would have retrieved the vehicle myself if it were still at home,” the father said, urging anyone with information to come forward.
Destiny Boy, 22, was confirmed dead on Sunday. His mother revealed he had been battling a prolonged illness known locally as “Ogu oru,” which caused frequent seizures and worsened over time despite both medical and traditional interventions. She said his condition deteriorated soon after the naming ceremony of his child, leading to multiple hospital visits.
The mother also dismissed rumours linking her son to money rituals, describing them as false and harmful, and emphasised that the family did everything possible to care for him before his death.
