Officers of the Nigerian Police force have arrested the father of viral internet sensation known for his ‘Mummy Calm down’ words. This is coming days after news of Mrs Toluige Olokoobi, the mother of the “mummy calm down” boy reportedly ended her life. Shortly after the heartbreaking news was shared online, the Edo State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of her husband. Spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, Chidi Nwabuzor, told BBC Pidgin on Thursday, November 9, that the deceased’s husband has been arrested and detained for questioning. Body of the lady has also been deposited in the mortuary. Nwabuzor said; “He alerted the neighbours who followed him to the hospital where she was confirmed dead. He’s still with the police and will soon be transferred to the State CID for further investigation.” His late mom was alleged to have taken her life in Benin, Edo state, Nigeria. This information was made public by a social media user named Samuel. Samuel 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 left behind three kids for her husband, including the popular ‘Mummy Calm Down’ boy.”
