💔 JUST IN 💔 “What pained me most about Destiny Boy’s death,” says Iya Ogba, “was seeing the video where pliers and a hammer were used to remove his gold teeth. The people around him that day need to be arrested. They allowed too much access to his dead body.” Destiny Boy was just 22 years old (Oku Ofo). Who on earth is happy seeing the body of a 22-year-old? 😢 “I burst into tears when I saw that traumatizing video. Why didn’t you allow him to be buried with his teeth? Those greedy people removed them to sell, and you still had the mind to collect the money after selling them. Where is your conscience?” Iya Ogba continues: “Where were his parents and family members when they were removing the teeth? This shows people only care about you when you are alive. Nobody truly cares about your dead body. Enjoy your money while you are still alive. Some family members only care because you are giving them money.” #DestinyBoy #RestInPeace #StopExploitation #FamilyValues
