A “19-year-old upcoming Nigerian artiste” identified simply as Destiny has been “beaten to death” in the “Volta Region area of Ghana.”
It was gathered that the incident happened on “May 28.”
It was gathered that a “yet-to-be-identified Nigerian” based in Ghana accused him of “failing to remit funds related to a business venture” they introduced him to.
The “male adult,” who was also said to be among those who “facilitated his trip to the country,” stormed his apartment alongside two others to “question him about the funds.”
However, Destiny’s failure to provide answers led to a “severe assault” meted out to him.
A source under anonymity said that the “Edo State-born artistkke” thereafter “succumbed to the injuries sustained from the assault.”
“Destiny went to Ghana to further his education, and the travel was facilitated by someone he called his street brother. These are the same people who provided an apartment for him over there. Those who broke the news to us from there said the men introduced him to a business, which they later accused him of diverting some funds meant for the business. This angered them, and they went to his apartment and beat him up. The beating was so intense that he felt weak and gave up the ghost in the process,” the source narrated.
It was further learned that the suspects “left the deceased’s body in the room” after they discovered that he was “motionless.”
Another source who spoke to our correspondent said the “police later discovered the corpse a few days after the incident.”
“The powere alerted to the incident, and some officers were deployed to the apartment where Destiny’s remains were found. We were told that no suspects had been arrested since his death. We hope the Ghanaian authorities find his killers and bring them to justice.”
In a video obtained by PUNCH Metro, Destiny was seen speaking about himself and what his plans were.
He said, “I am Destiny and I am a streamer from Nigeria. I want to apply to Streamers University, and this will be a great joy for me, my mother, and everybody. I am also an artiste and a earlier in April that a “77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver,” Olatunji Bolaji, was “killed in a shooting” outside a “hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.”
