Skit maker John Kennedy Kanu aka Bros Jay Kay and a woman said to be his lover have died in a road accident.
The comedian and the woman, it was gathered, were involved in a car crash which occurred on Rumuodara East-West Road in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday night.
The comic, who also owned a media and e-ticketing company called Reelwood TV, was said to have rammed his vehicle into a broken down waste disposal truck, leading to the fatal crash.
His friends have begun mourning him on Facebook where he was more popular.
