First Video from Destiny Boy's Burial Ceremony Emerges Online
The first video footage from the burial ceremony of late singer Destiny Boy has surfaced on social media platforms, capturing a poignant moment from the final rites. The emotional clip shows the moment the Afro-Fuji musician's corpse arrived at his father's compound in the Ayetoro area of Ogun State, Nigeria.
Emotional Arrival at Family Compound
The video, which has gone viral across various social media platforms, shows a white funeral hearse with a blasting siren arriving at the Odo Rori compound in Ayetoro, Yewa, Ogun State. The specialized vehicle, typically used to transport deceased persons from mortuaries to burial sites, carried Destiny Boy's remains to what appears to be his final resting place.
This development comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding the singer's death, which occurred earlier this week and sparked significant discussion on social media platforms. Despite police involvement in investigating the circumstances of his passing, the family proceeded with burial arrangements as scheduled.
Controversy Over Burial Location
The emergence of this video has reignited conversations about the appropriateness of burying the singer within his father's compound. Many social media users have expressed concern that this location choice might trigger unpleasant memories for his parents, who would be living in close proximity to their son's grave.
Netizens have raised several questions about the burial arrangements:
- Whether it was appropriate to bury him in his father's compound
- If an autopsy had been conducted to determine the exact cause of death
- How his parents might cope with having their son's grave on their property
Social Media Reactions
The video has generated significant emotional responses from fans and social media users across Nigeria. Many have expressed sympathy for the family while questioning the burial location decision.

Background on Destiny Boy's Health Condition
Prior to his death, disturbing footage had circulated showing the singer experiencing what appeared to be seizure-like symptoms. His mother, Saide Adeshina, confirmed that Destiny Boy had been suffering from a condition similar to epilepsy for nearly two years, beginning shortly after his child's naming ceremony.
The family had reportedly kept this health challenge private due to his celebrity status, though a video showing him experiencing convulsions in a car with friends attempting to revive him had surfaced earlier.
The burial ceremony took place on Friday, January 23, as previously scheduled by the family, despite the ongoing investigations and public discussions surrounding the circumstances of his passing.
