KLANG: About a day after being reported missing, authorities discovered the body of singer and YouTuber Muhammad Nidza Afham, 23, beneath a bridge where his location was last tracked.
This was confirmed by Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Hussein Omar Khan last night. He added that his family has also been notified.
Earlier yesterday, South Klang OCPD Asst Comm Cha Hoong Fong said that the missing man, Muhammad Nidza, was last seen leaving a house on Jalan Kerongsang 4 in Bandar Puteri here on Tuesday.
His girlfriend traced his last location to a bridge where a family member found his wallet and other belongings.
Muhammad Nidza is known for his single Ternyata Bukan Aku. He gained fame for his song covers on social media, particularly on his YouTube channel, where his cover of Rindu Setengah Mati has nearly seven million views. He also appeared in I Can See Your Voice Season 3.
