A content creator, Folorunsho Olayinka, otherwise known as Finest, has revealed that late comedian Adetola Samad (Sanku) was still owing ₦13 million on the 2012 Lexus RX 350 SUV that claimed his life.

In a viral video seen by Sahara Reporters on TikTok, Finest, who said he stood as guarantor for Sanku, disclosed that the comedian purchased the vehicle for ₦25.4million, with plans to pay in installments.

A receipt from JJ Motors Empire and Services Limited, dated June 5, 2025, and shared by Finest during a TikTok livestream amid the controversy surrounding Sanku’s death, showed that only ₦7 million had been paid at the time of purchase.

He said, “I was only a guarantor, it was because the car dealer knew me. I only helped him. I wasn’t the one who told him to come to Ilorin; he was the one who requested a driver, which I provided for him. After paying N7,000,000 to acquire the vehicle, he began paying in instalments until he had paid N12,280,000.

“So what will be my gain in ordering that the person who owed about N13 million, for whom I stood as guarantor, be killed? What will be my gain? I don’t even know the driver.

“The late Sanku is not someone I would be leaking his secrets to the public, even this one I said, it was because I was fingered in the cause of his death. I have all the voice notes of him appreciating me for being his guarantor.

“The day the accident happened, I sent my siblings and some of the guys on set with me to visit the scene. Even when they arrived at the hospital, they complained that they were not treated immediately. I was the one who sent my people money for their treatment."

Earlier this month, SaharaReporters reported that Sanku tragically lost his life in a car accident along Ogbomoso Road in Oyo State.

The news of his death was confirmed by actor Yemi Elesho on his social media pages.

Just days before his passing, August 4 specifically, Sanku had released a skit depicting himself in heaven, where he expressed disappointment at the absence of many people he had expected to meet.

In the video, he jokingly urged his partner to head to hell so they could enjoy life together.

How's buying things in installments "fake life"? Even wealthy people do it.
