Ifayomi Oba Edu Jogbodo Orunmila has been exonerated of any role in the death of 22-year-old Afrofuji musician Afeez Adesina, also known as Destiny Boy, according to an autopsy.
After an inquiry into Destiny Boy’s death was initiated, the Ogun State Police Command verified the autopsy.
The autopsy, which was carried out by a consultant anatomic pathologist, found dangerous amounts of tramadol, its metabolites, and methamphetamine in the deceased’s system, according to Police Public Relations Officer DSP Babaseyi Oluseyi.
The official date of death was established to be January 17, 2026, and the study determined that aspiration pneumonitis arising from the intake of these poisonous substances was the cause of death
Afeez Adesina rose to prominence in 2019 after his Fuji-style cover of ‘If’ by Davido went viral. He later released songs including ‘Lamba,’ ‘One Transaction,’ ‘Gbese,’ ‘Billion Dollar,’ ‘Mio Gbonkankan,’ and ‘Lowkey.’

He died on January 17, 2026, under circumstances that generated widespread public concern and calls for investigation. He is survived by his partner, Iremide, and their child, born in November 2024.
Saida clarified that the family, traditional healers, and clerics had been attentively monitoring her son’s condition in a video that went viral on Monday.
She claimed that because of his celebrity status, they concealed the disease from the public, even though it had nearly severely affected him.
“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 and collect a 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. 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,’ which caused him to have seizures. The sickness had almost run him mad. We were the ones who always ensured that he didn’t run out in the process of calming him.”
