Sanku’s death was confirmed by actor Yemi Elesho on his social media pages on Monday.
Meanwhile, on August 4, he released a skit depicting himself in heaven after death, where he lamented the absence of many people as he had expected; in the video, he urged his partner to head to hell so they could enjoy life together.
Nollywood actors have taken to social media to mourn Sanku’s death.
Actress Funmi Awelewa, expressed heartbreak, saying, “The pain, the effort, the strength, the struggle… walai nothing make sense. I’m heartbroken. Even film sef never come out! It does not make sense.”
