Content creator Folorunsho Olayinka, popularly known as Finest, has revealed that comedian Adetola Samad, widely called Sanku, was still owing N13 million for the 2012 Lexus RX 350 SUV involved in the fatal acc+dent that claimed his life.

According to Tribune Online, Sanku d+ed on September 2, 2025, when his vehicle plunged into a river along Ogbomoso Road in Oyo State. His passing was first shared on social media by actor Yemi Elesho.

Speaking in a TikTok livestream, Finest disclosed that he acted as guarantor for Sanku when he purchased the SUV, priced at N25.4 million, from JJ Motors Empire and Services Limited. A receipt dated June 5, 2025, showed that the late comedian initially deposited N7 million.

Finest explained:

“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 k+lled? 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 d+ath. I have all the voice notes of him appreciating me for being his guarantor.

The day the acc+dent 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.”

However, a close friend of the late comedian, who requested anonymity, claimed Sanku was under pressure to return the Lexus for a Nigerian-used Toyota Venza because he was struggling to complete the payment, leaving a balance of N2.3 million.
