The Lagos State Police Command has officially released the Destiny Boy autopsy report details, ending weeks of intense speculation regarding the sudden passing of the popular street-pop sensation, Afeez Adeshina. According to the medical examination conducted by forensic pathologists, the 22 year old singer died from acute drug toxicity.
The report specifically identified the presence of lethal concentrations of Tramadol and Methamphetamine, popularly known as “Mkpuru Mmiri,” in his system at the time of death. This clinical finding confirms that the singer’s respiratory system failed due to the powerful combination of these controlled substances, which led to his untimely demise in late 2025.
The investigation into the singer’s death was triggered by the confusing circumstances surrounding his final moments, with initial social media rumors suggesting everything from a physical assault to spiritual interference during a visit to an unconventional healer.
However, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, clarified that the scientific evidence provided by the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) leaves no room for doubt.
The toxicology screen revealed that the high dosage of synthetic opioids and stimulants caused a catastrophic breakdown of his vital organs, ultimately leading to a cardiac arrest from which he could not be revived.

The news has sent another wave of shock through the Nigerian music industry, particularly among the “Street-Hop” community where Destiny Boy was a prominent figure. Known for his unique Fuji-infused covers of Afrobeats hits and his vibrant personality, the singer had recently celebrated the birth of his first child, a milestone many hoped would mark a more stable chapter in his life.
The autopsy results have now shifted the public conversation toward the growing crisis of substance abuse within the entertainment sector, as stakeholders and fans grapple with the loss of a talent who rose from the streets of Agege to national prominence.
Police authorities have reiterated that while the autopsy provides a definitive cause of death, the investigation remains open to determine the source of the illicit substances found in the singer’s system. There are ongoing efforts to trace his movements and the individuals he was with in the forty-eight hours leading up to the incident.
This move is part of a broader crackdown by the Lagos State Government on the distribution of “ice” and other dangerous narcotics that have become increasingly prevalent in certain social circles. The police have urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified claims that could jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing legal processes.
As the family of Afeez Adeshina prepares for the final rites, the Destiny Boy autopsy report details serve as a somber cautionary tale for many young Nigerians who looked up to the artist. The entertainment world continues to mourn the loss of a vibrant voice whose career was cut short by the very pressures he often sang about overcoming.
While his music remains a staple in the streets of Lagos, his passing has become a focal point for advocacy groups calling for better mental health support and drug rehabilitation programs tailored for young creatives in the Nigerian spotlight.
