A young Nigerian musician known only as Destiny passed away tragically in Ghana after he was brutally battered to death by his own countrymen.
The tragic event happened on May 28 in Ghana’s Volta Region, where Destiny, a 19-year-old from Edo State, had moved to pursue her aspirations of studying and becoming a musician.
According to information obtained, the Afrobeats artist said that a man he called his “street brother” helped arrange his travel and lodging in Ghana.
When he was accused of mismanaging money from a business deal that the same people had offered to him, trouble started.
After Destiny was unable to provide adequate explanations about the money, the accused, together with two other men, allegedly raided his flat and severely assaulted him, according to sources who talked to PUNCH.
According to the source: “He went to Ghana to chase his dreams and was living in the apartment provided by them. When they accused him of diverting business funds, they came to his place and beat him until he couldn’t move. He died in that room.”
The suspects shockingly abandoned Destiny’s lifeless body in the apartment without calling the attention of authorities.
His remains were discovered days later after locals alerted the police.
In an emotional video obtained by the press, Destiny could be seen introducing himself with big dreams: “I am Destiny, and I am a streamer from Nigeria. I want to apply to Streamers University… I am also an artist and a gamer. I do all sorts of things.”
