The comic actor passed away in a hospital in Lagos state on Saturday, March 2.
According to family sources, the actor has been on life support after he underwent a second surgery for his ailment recently.
The family source said that his blood pressure has been over 200 after he had the surgery and that efforts were being made to stabilize it before he sadly passed away today.
The actor battled with constant clotting of blood on his leg (diseased blood vessels) and other health challenges for years.
