Grieving Mother of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations, Recalls His Last Words

The mother of late Nigerian skit maker and fast-rising comedian, Sanku Comedy — born Raji Samad Adetola — has spoken out following her son’s sudden death, dismissing widespread rumours linking him to money rituals. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Sanku tragically passed away on Monday after a fatal car accident along the Oyo-Ogbomoso expressway in Ibadan. His untimely death sparked speculation on social media, with some alleging that his rapid rise to fame was connected to fetish practices.

In a now-viral video, the heartbroken mother tearfully refuted the claims, insisting that her son was a devout Muslim who never engaged in rituals.

Many Alfas gave him soaps to use, but he always told me to just keep praying for him. He said my prayers were enough. My son never went to any herbalist. He was always praying to God,” she said.

She further revealed Sanku’s final words, recalling how he begged her to move in with him so she could finally rest from her struggles and enjoy the fruits of her labour.

“Sanku was a good child. He used to help me hawk peppers before I allowed him to fully pursue comedy. He promised that he and his siblings would become great people. My son did not do money rituals,” she added.


A Rising Star Gone Too Soon

Sanku Comedy had built a fast-growing fanbase with his unique skits and relatable content before his tragic passing. His death has left many fans in shock, with tributes pouring in across social media platforms.

Those clerics wey dey give soaps for economic breakthrough are also herbalist aka babalawo.

God won't send anyone to burn animals and herbs grind and mix with soap for prosperity!

To Alfas are worst than babalawos. Don't mind her. She said an Alfa gave her son soap to bath and at the same time,she is claiming her son did not do money ritual

Na the same ritual peller do him sef do.but sadly he was always high and throwing hand signs with his dumb friends to pay attention to his near by kpai.i don't have any tears for the deceased.the deceased dsnt pay details to what he signed up for.
Re: Grieving Mother Of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations by YUSTECH3(m): 7:05am On Sep 06, 2025
The Alfas you said so are the same as the babaalawos

Even more worst than them
Re: Grieving Mother Of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations by Nobody: 7:06am On Sep 06, 2025
Why are they painting local soaps as bad? Baffing and anointing oil nor be something?
Re: Grieving Mother Of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations by dominique(mod):
Sorry ma, may God console you and you will not weep over your remaining children. However, you should have warmed your son to desist from collecting strange soaps from Alfas, that's highly forbidden in Islam. Besides, most parents of today don't know what their children are dabbling into, they can only pray that they don't go astray.

Whoever sold him that condemned Lexus should have been arrested by now.

Lol, very contradictory comment.
Even my parents can't vouche for me these days seeing the rate of desperation from Nigerian youths.

Thank you for understanding the context. I wonder what is wrong with some people level of comprehension.
Re: Grieving Mother Of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations by shadrach77: 7:51am On Sep 06, 2025
Comprehension seems to be a major problem for some people. The mother said his son did NOT use soap yet some goats are still asking "why did he use soap?"
Re: Grieving Mother Of Late Sanku Comedy Denies Ritual Allegations by FashionCookie(f): 7:54am On Sep 06, 2025
An average Nigerian is a terrible person. No respect for the dead at all.
The same people following him on social media o. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️

stressing that she had sacrificed and endured hardship to support him during difficult times. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“If he abandons me for another woman after becoming successful, may the gods deal with him,” she declared.

Oh, lemme guess....

God told you?
The soaps from herbs and animals are part of creation and I thought man was supposed to dominate and use them for his benefit according to the book?

huh

Totally contradictory. But they do not call it the same, most Muslims see whatever their Alfa do as directive from their God.

Unbeknownst to them, these Alfas even visit IFA shrines and others to increase their knowledge and learn more potent manipulation of things.

I thought so too. Do they hawk the soaps on the street, or they stop people on the way n offer them the soap?
