A popular TikTok content creator known online as ‘Disturbing’ has tragically passed away after experiencing a seizure during a live broadcast from his residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, Nigeria.
The distressing incident occurred on Thursday and rapidly circulated online, with footage capturing the entertainer’s final moments as he appeared visibly unwell before collapsing.
‘Disturbing’, who was also a cobbler and musician, had gained a significant following on TikTok, partly due to his active participation in the ‘Justice for Mohbad’ movement.
In a statement shared on TikTok, his wife, Omowunmi, revealed the immediate cause of death, explaining that he sustained a fatal head injury when he struck his head against a stone during the fall.
She recounted that she was in the kitchen when neighbours alerted her to the emergency. “Yesterday morning, my husband was on TikTok live while I cooked his food. Suddenly, he had a seizure, fell, and hit his head on a stone. Blood was coming out of his head. A young boy and some neighbours saw him, thought he had fainted, and poured water on him. They called me from the kitchen,” she stated.
Omowunmi explained that her husband was immediately rushed to the hospital, where medical professionals placed him on oxygen. However, despite their efforts, he sadly passed away on Friday morning.
Further clarifying the circumstances surrounding his death, Omowunmi disclosed that the late TikToker had a pre-existing medical condition involving seizures and was currently undergoing treatment for it. She firmly dismissed online speculation suggesting that his death was the result of a spiritual attack.
“The last time he had a seizure was in February. It is purely a medical issue,” she affirmed. The tragic passing of ‘Disturbing’ has been met with an outpouring of grief from his online followers and the wider Nigerian social media community.
