A 19-year-old Nigerian musician simply identified as Destiny has been beaten to death in the Volta Region area of Ghana.
Chronicle NG gathered that the gruesome killing of Destiny happened on May 28.
It was said that a yet-to-be-identified Nigerian living in Ghana accused him of failing to remit payments for a business endeavour they introduced him to.
The male adult, who was also believed to have aided his departure to the country, invaded his flat with two others to ask him about the money.
However, Destiny’s failure to provide answers resulted in a terrible assault on him.
A source familiar with the incident who spoke on the condition of anonymity stated that the Edo State-born musician later died from the injuries sustained during 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 gathered that the suspects left the deceased’s body in the room after they discovered that he was motionless.
Another source stated that the police later discovered the corpse a few days after the incident.
“The police were 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, 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 gamer. I do all sorts of things.”
At the time of filing this report, the Ghanaian police had yet to comment on the incident.
