Saying that his administration would continue to work to attract premium investment into Asaba and other parts of the state, he assured investors of the safety of their investments in any part of the state and pledged continued partnership with security agencies for the realisation of the M.O.R.E Agenda.

He said: “I am very happy receiving Davido this night and this shows that Delta State is peaceful as he is coming to perform this night.

“When I was campaigning, I promised that we are going to enhance peace and security and you can see a lot of developments going on in Asaba and other parts of the state.

“People are coming to invest in Asaba and other parts of the state and I want assure all our investors that Delta State is safe and they can come in here to do business at any time.

Earlier, Davido said he came with his group on a courtesy visit to the Governor as a mark of respect and to appreciate the Governor for his good works in ensuring peace and security across the state.

According to him; “we have performed here in Asaba and Warri since the beginning of my career but this is the first time am performing here with you as Governor so its going to be very different tonight.

The Nigerian music industry is in mourning following the sudden death of rising Afrofuji and Afrobeats singer Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, at the age of 22.

The heartbreaking news broke earlier today when popular Instagram investigative journalist Temilola Sobola announced the singer’s passing on social media, writing: “Singer Destiny Boy has passed away.

May his soul Rest In Peace 🕊️.

”Destiny Boy, born in 2004, first gained widespread recognition in 2019 with his energetic Fuji-infused cover of Davido’s hit song “If.

“His unique blend of traditional Fuji rhythms with modern Afrobeats earned him a dedicated fanbase and established him as one of Nigeria’s most promising young talents in the genre often referred to as Afrofuji.

The young artist’s death comes just months after significant personal milestones. In November 2024, he joyfully welcomed his first child at the age of 20, and earlier that year in March 2024, he made headlines by proposing to his partner with a reportedly multi-million-naira diamond ring.

As of now, no official cause of death has been confirmed by the family, management, or credible authorities. While unverified reports and speculation including claims of a prolonged illness, vomiting blood, or other circumstances have circulated online, these remain unsubstantiated.

A viral video allegedly showing the singer’s remains has further fueled discussions and grief on social media.

Destiny Boy’s young wife was seen in a widely shared clip breaking down in tears, pleading “Afeez wake up” as she mourned the devastating loss, highlighting the profound personal impact on his family.

Fans and colleagues have flooded social media with tributes, shock, and reflections on life’s fragility. One emotional post read: “So tomorrow is not sure for anybody.

”The sudden passing marks a tragic end to a career that showed immense promise. Destiny Boy’s high-energy performances and distinctive sound had already taken him on tours across Africa and the UK.

Further details, including funeral arrangements, are expected as the family processes this immense loss. The music community and fans continue to send condolences to his loved ones, including his young child and wife, during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in peace. 🕊️
