"My son is your son" Peter Okoye and Tonto Dikeh tell Dbanj as they console him for the loss of his son and social media users call them out for being "insensitive"

Peter Okoye and Tonto Dikeh, while consoling Dbanj on the death of his only son, made similar statements which some people find offensive.

In a comment to Dbanj's post thanking people for being there for him during this tragic time, Peter Okoye wrote: "We love you bro... stay strong. My son is your son. Remain blessed."

Tonto Dikeh also left a similar comment, writing: "We love you Banga, Be strengthened... My son is your son too. God bless you."

Following Peter and Tonto's comments, some people criticized them, saying they were being insensitive and it was wrong to try to replace the position Dbanj's son holds in his heart by offering their sons.
