This was because the prankster had shared a video of himself and Nwobu in South Africa hours before his tragic demise.
Speaking in a video he shared on his Instagram page on Wednesday, November 26, Untouchable, who looked distressed, said he had been silent because of his health.
He revealed he was traumatised, adding that he would never make a prank video about someone's death.
Untouchable Comedy mourned the late Nwobu, referring to him as his brother.
"With regards to Odira's death, I know a lot of you have been waiting for me to talk, and a lot thought it was a prank due to the nature of my job. I have not been in my right senses since then, all I can say is, it was not a prank, and I can never use someone's life for a prank. I have been traumatised and I am not fit to talk much because of my health. My colleagues have said everything. Odira, you are a brother. Rest in peace, my brother. I just pray God helps me come out from this," he said in the video.

"Please ooo @untouchable_comediess, that BP reading I saw is too high. Take care of yourself biko. ‘Had I known’ shouldn’t be your worry now. God knows everything and sees all. As much as we all love to live life and enjoy ourselves, we must never forget that our health is the number one priority. May his soul rest in perfect peace, and may God strengthen his family, especially his wife."
