TikToker who slumped during live video buried

A popular TikTok content creator identified simply as ‘Disturbing’, who slumped during a live broadcast at his residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, has been buried.

A viral video seen by our correspondent on Friday shows the final moments of the content creator who appeared to have suffered a seizure before he later collapsed on the spot.

A resident who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said the deceased was buried on Friday.

He said, “The incident happened on Thursday and finally passed away on Friday. He was buried immediately according to the decision of the family.”

The deceased is known to have been consistently involved in the Justice For Mohbad movement.

The resident added that members of the movement, including Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, had since the incident visited the family of the deceased.

 Reacting to his death in a TikTok post, the wife of the deceased, identified simply as Omowunmi, disclosed that the deceased hit his head on a stone after he fell.

Omowunmi stated that she was in the kitchen when neighbours called her attention to the incident.

According to her, efforts made to revive him were unsuccessful, as he passed away on Friday morning.

 “Yesterday morning, my husband was on TikTok live video while I cooked his food in the kitchen. Suddenly he had a seizure, fell down, and hit his head on a stone that was in front of him. Blood was coming out of his head. A young boy and some neighbours that were passing then saw him. They thought he fainted so they started pouring water on him. The young boy ran inside and called me from the kitchen.

“When I got there, I told them to stop pouring water and that it was a seizure. We quickly rushed him to the hospital where they placed him on oxygen. He passed away this morning,” she narrated.

She, however, noted that it was not the first time her late husband would be having seizures as he had been on medications.

Omowunmi who dismissed speculation of a spiritual attack said the last time he had such a seizure was in February.

“The last time he had it was in February. I have never left him to be by himself because of this seizure. If not that I was cooking in the kitchen, I would have grabbed him when the seizure happened. To everyone saying it was a spiritual attack, it was a medical condition.”
