A heartbreaking incident has occurred as Toluige Olokobi Babalola, the woman who rose to fame in the viral ‘Mummy Calm Down’ video, has taken her own life. Following this devastating turn of events, her husband has been detained by the authorities for questioning.
The video that made Toluige and her son famous showcased the young boy on his knees, desperately pleading with his mother after unintentionally upsetting her. In the footage, we witness the little boy tearfully beseeching his mother to calm down and rest a little before taking any disciplinary action against him.
At the tender age of four, Oreofeoluwa, the child in the video, gained significant attention on social media, ultimately becoming a sensation. The video’s popularity even reached the ears of Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Oreofeoluwa was subsequently interviewed by various media outlets, expressing his desire to become a police officer and combat corruption in Nigeria.
However, recent news has shaken the public’s faith, revealing that Toluige has tragically taken her own life in Benin, Edo State. The reasons behind this devastating act remain unknown. Claims from an X user, who reportedly witnessed the incident on Monday afternoon, state that Toluige had chosen not to share her troubles with anyone before her untimely passing.
In a chilling account, the X user solemnly wrote, The woman in the viral ‘Mummy Calm Down’ video has just committed suicide here in Benin. She refused to speak to anyone about her problems. She has left behind her husband and three children, one of whom is the famous Mummy Calm Down boy.
Confirming the tragic news, Chidi Nwabuzor, the spokesperson for the Edo State Police Command, acknowledged that Toluige’s husband has been arrested and is currently in custody for questioning. It was the husband himself who alerted the authorities to the distressing situation.
According to Nwabuzor, the husband recounted that upon returning home from the market, he found his wife had hanged herself using a rope. Urgent attempts were made to save her life as she was quickly rushed to the hospital. Tragically, she was later pronounced dead and her body was moved to the mortuary.
The loss of Toluige Olokobi Babalola has indeed left the public shaken and grieving. Her charming son, Oreofeoluwa, captivated hearts worldwide with his endearing plea for his mother’s calm, becoming an emblem of innocence and love. The circumstances surrounding Toluige’s tragic death remain a mystery, leaving many questioning what led to this devastating outcome.
As an outpouring of love, sympathy, and support envelops the family during this difficult time, we can only hope for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind this heartbreaking loss. Our hearts go out to Toluige’s grieving loved ones, especially her three children, who are now left to navigate life without their beloved mother.
