The father of late Afrobeat singer Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has appealed to Nigerians for help over the disappearance of his son’s Sport Utility Vehicle days after the artiste’s death.
In a video that went viral on Tuesday, the grieving man alleged that the SUV was returned to the dealership shortly after Destiny Boy passed away and has not been seen since.
He said the vehicle was purchased from Lycon Autos, adding that he personally accompanied his son during the transaction.
According to him, the dealership assigned a driver to convey the SUV to their residence on the day of purchase, noting that the same driver was later retained by the singer for personal use.
“Nigerians, please help me. My son has a car, and the car is with Lycon Autos. Although the car is not new, it is an SUV jeep. We went together to buy it,” he said.
He alleged that the driver later claimed Destiny Boy was owing him money and subsequently returned the vehicle to the dealership without informing the family.
“The driver said Destiny was owing him, so he took the car back to where we bought it from. I don’t even have the driver’s number. If the car were here, I would have gone to pick it up,” he added.
Destiny Boy died on Sunday at the age of 22.
His mother, Saida, had earlier disclosed that the singer battled a long-term mysterious illness described as “Ogu oru,” which often resulted in seizures.
Speaking on Monday, she said the family explored medical, traditional and spiritual means to manage the condition but kept it away from the public due to his rising profile in the music industry.
She also dismissed rumours linking her son’s death to money rituals, describing such claims as false and insensitive, stressing that the family did everything possible to ensure he recovered before his untimely death.
