Content creator Folorunsho Olayinka, popularly known as Finest, has stated that the comedian, Adetola Samad, aka Sanku, died in a loaned 2012 model Lexus RX 350 SUV, which was meant to be returned to the dealer in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, for a cheaper car.
According to Finest, who stood as the guarantor for the late comedian, the deceased had informed him of his decision to get the vehicle for N25,400,000.
In a receipt issued by JJ Motors Empire and Services Limited, which was dated June 5, 2025, and shared by the content creator during a TikTok livestream on Monday after his death sparked a row over the unpaid loan car, Sanku had only paid N7,000,000 as of the time of the 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.
