Content creator, Folorunsho Olayinka, otherwise known as Finest, has revealed that late comedian Adetola Samad (popularly called Sanku) was still owing about ₦13 million on the 2012 Lexus RX 350 SUV in which he lost his life.
In a viral TikTok video monitored by SaharaReporters, Finest explained that he had stood as guarantor for the comedian when he purchased the vehicle for ₦25.4 million on installment from JJ Motors Empire and Services Limited.
According to SaharaReporters, a receipt dated June 5, 2025, and shared by Finest during the livestream, showed that only ₦7 million had been paid upfront, with subsequent instalments bringing the total payment to ₦12.28 million before the accident.
“I was only a guarantor. It was because the car dealer knew me. After paying ₦7 million to acquire the vehicle, he began paying in instalments until he had paid ₦12,280,000. He was still owing about ₦13 million at the time of his death,” Finest said.
Reacting to speculation that he may have been involved in Sanku’s death, the content creator denied the allegations, saying: “So what will be my gain in ordering that the person who owed about ₦13 million, for whom I stood as guarantor, be killed? I don’t even know the driver.”
He added that he still had voice notes of the late comedian appreciating him for standing as guarantor, noting that the only reason he spoke publicly was because some people tried to implicate him in the tragedy.
Finest also alleged that Sanku and his companions were not given immediate medical attention after the crash along Ogbomoso Road in Oyo State.
“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,” he stated.
Recall that Sanku died in the accident earlier this month, with actor Yemi Elesho confirming the news on social media.
