Late Singer, Destiny Boy’s Father Raises Alarm Over Missing SUV

The father of late Afrobeat singer Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has appealed to Nigerians for assistance after his son’s Sport Utility Vehicle went missing days after the artiste’s de@th.

In a video that went viral on Tuesday, the visibly distressed man expressed concern over the whereabouts of the SUV, alleging that the vehicle was returned to the dealership shortly after Destiny Boy’s passing and has not been seen since.

The grieving father explained that the vehicle was purchased from Lycon Autos and 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, adding that the same driver was later retained by the singer for personal use.

He said, “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.

“Lycon Autos assigned a driver for him that day to bring the car home. Later, Destiny started using the driver personally.”

He alleged that trouble started when the driver claimed that the singer was owing him money and subsequently returned the SUV 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 d!ed 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 made efforts through medical, traditional and spiritual means to manage his condition, adding that it was kept away from the public due to his status as a rising music star.

She also dismissed rumours linking her son’s de@th to money rituals, describing such claims as false and insensitive.

Saida stressed that the family did everything within their means to ensure Destiny Boy was cured of the illness before his untimely de@th.
