Destiny Boy’s Father Seeks Public Help Over Missing SUV After Singer’s Death

The father of late Afrobeat star Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has appealed to the public for assistance after his son’s SUV reportedly went missing just days following the singer’s death. In a video that went viral on Tuesday, the grieving father explained that the vehicle, purchased from Lycon Autos, was allegedly returned to the dealership shortly after Destiny Boy passed away and has not been seen since. He noted that he had accompanied his son during the purchase. On the day the SUV was bought, the dealership provided a driver to deliver it to the family’s home. Destiny Boy later kept the driver for personal use, but problems arose when the driver claimed the singer owed him money and allegedly returned the SUV to the dealership without informing the family. “Nigerians, please help me. My son had a car, an SUV jeep. We went together to buy it. Lycon Autos assigned a driver to bring the car home. Later, Destiny used the driver personally. The driver said Destiny owed him money, so he took the car back to the dealership. I don’t even have the driver’s number. If the car were here, I would have gone to pick it up,” the father said. Destiny Boy, who died on Sunday at the age of 22, had been battling a long-term mysterious illness described by his mother as “Ogu oru,” which frequently triggered seizures, she revealed in an interview on Monday. The family is now appealing to anyone with information about the vehicle to come forward and help recover it.
