A Nigerian TikToker popularly known as Disturbing has tragically died while live streaming on social media, sending shockwaves across online platforms.
The incident, which has gone viral, was confirmed by investigative journalist Temilola Sobola, who shared the unsettling footage showing the final moments of the influencer.
In the now widely circulated video, Disturbing appeared visibly distressed before suddenly collapsing during the live session. Viewers watched in horror as he seemed to suffer a seizure or stroke before becoming unresponsive. He never recovered.
Disturbing rose to prominence for his vocal support of the Justice for Mohbad movement — a campaign demanding accountability and transparency in the wake of the controversial death of Nigerian singer Mohbad in September 2023.
Known for his passionate livestreams, Disturbing often criticized those he believed were connected to Mohbad’s mysterious death, including the singer’s family members and associates.
Following his sudden death, social media erupted with a flood of theories and emotional reactions. While some users speculated substance abuse might be a factor, others offered alternative explanations.
An X user, @MezieAbia, commented:
“Young people should leave hard drugs alone. Hard drugs kill you silently and gradually.”
Meanwhile, another user, @GuyMr0, suggested a more spiritual interpretation:
“This is not as a result of drugs. At that moment, he witnessed the presence of the angel of death. His time is up.”
Another online observer, EmperorDeone, suspected a medical emergency:
“Looks like he was having a stroke. Maybe he was hypertensive.”
As of the time of this report, no official cause of death has been confirmed by medical professionals or authorities.
The news of Disturbing’s passing adds a new layer of tragedy to the ongoing saga surrounding Mohbad’s death, which has sparked nationwide protests and investigations. The Justice for Mohbad movement remains active, with authorities including the Department of State Services (DSS) involved in the ongoing inquiry.
The digital community mourns the loss of Disturbing, who many saw as a fearless voice in the fight for justice. His sudden death serves as a grim reminder of the emotional and physical toll online activism can take.
