Toluige Olokoobi, the mother to Oreofeoluwa Lawal-Babalola,
the little boy who inspired the viral “mummy be calming down” video, has
committed suicide.
The footage also inspired Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos
governor’s Eid-el-Kabir message to Muslim faithfuls and inhabitants of the
state wherein he urged them to maintain calm amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The boy alongside his family thereafter met with the governor, who commended his courage and composure.
Oreofeoluwa was featured in several interviews with media
houses. He also said he wants to be a police officer to help fight corruption
in Nigeria
But on Tuesday, an X user disclosed that Toluige committed
suicide in Benin due to unknown reasons.
The X user, who said he was at the scene of the incident on
Monday afternoon, added that Toluige had refused to share her problems with
anyone before taking her own life.
“The woman in the
viral Mummy Calm down video has just committed suicide here in Benin,” he
wrote.
“She refused to speak to anyone about her problems. She left
three kids for her husband including the popular Mummy Calm Down boy.”
