• Comedian Sanku's tragic death has sparked a row over an unpaid loan he allegedly used to acquire the car he died in
• A friend of the late comedian known as Finest spoke up, disclosing that he was a guarantor for the loan Sanku took, with N13 million still left to be paid
• The new update about Sanku buying a car on loan has ignited reactions about celebrities and their lifestyles

Late comedian and content creator Adetola Samad, aka Sanku, is again making waves following an alleged debt he left behind.

This comes as content creator Folorunsho Olayinka, better known as Finest, alleged that Sanku passed away in a loaned 2012 model Lexus RX 350 SUV, which was meant to be returned to the dealer in Ilorin, Kwara State, for a cheaper car.

Finest, who disclosed that he stood as the guarantor for Sanku, alleged that the deceased informed him of his decision to acquire a car for N25,400,000.

PUNCH reported that in a receipt issued by JJ Motors Empire and Services Limited, 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 at the time of purchase.

According to Finest, the late comedian was still owing about N13 million as he queried what would be his gain in ordering that the person, who he stood as guarantor for, be killed.

The content creator also debunked knowing who Sanku's driver was.

Finest’s claim was, however, contradicted by one of the late Sanku’s friends, who claimed the deceased was pressured to return the car for a Nigerian-used Toyota Venza because he could not pay for the Lexus, leaving a balance of N2.3 million.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that Sanku's family asked his friends and associates to return all his belongings in their possession.
