The father of late Afrobeat singer, Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has appealed to the public for help following the disappearance of his son’s SUV, days after the artiste’s death.

In a now-trending video on Tuesday, the visibly distressed father expressed concern over the whereabouts of the vehicle, revealing that it was allegedly returned to the dealership shortly after Destiny Boy’s passing, but has not been seen since.

He explained that the SUV was purchased from Lycon Autos and that he accompanied his son to complete the transaction.

According to him, the dealership provided a driver to convey the vehicle to their residence on the day of purchase.

The father said his son later retained the same driver for personal use, but trouble arose when the driver claimed the singer was owing him and subsequently returned the SUV to the dealership without informing the family.

The father 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. 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.”

As expected, Destiny Boy’s father came under heavy criticism on social media after the video of him speaking about the retrieval of his son’s car went viral amid unanswered questions on his untimely demise.

Many social media users described his comments as insensitive, questioning why the car seemed to be his main concern at such a difficult time.

Destiny Boy died on Sunday at the age of 22. His mother had disclosed in an interview on Monday that the singer had been ill before his death.

She also revealed that the late singer had been suffering from a long-term mysterious illness described as “Ogu oru” that constantly led to seizures.

She said:

“Destiny went to rest. When he gave birth to his child, about four days after the naming, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who initiated him traditionally. The man likes him as his son, so that’s why he told us to come collect ram for the baby’s naming ceremony. It was then that the sickness caught up with him, causing him to fall.

It was there that we took him to the hospital. Oba Edu said we should ensure he’s properly treated and that he will take care of himself. And he kept sending us money even when he was transferred to about two other hospitals.

When we saw the trend of the sickness, we told him that we should go traditional, and he said we should bring him to his place. I was the one he even gave the soap to bathe him.

We returned, and he was fine. The sickness he battled with was “Ogu oru,” causing him to have seizures. The sickness had almost run him mad. We are the ones who always ensure that he doesn’t run out in the process of calming him.”
