A Nigerian skit maker identified as Churchill has reportedly died in the process of trying to create content.
In a viral video shared today, Thursday, January 18, The Nation observed that Churchill was captured dropping his phone on the ground before proceeding to jump and touch the basketball net.
Churchill unfortunately didn’t touch it but he fell and struck his head on the ground.
Eyewitnesses reportedly rushed Churchill to the hospital, where he tragically passed away.
According to a lady with the Instagram handle, #LadyResa, in an interaction said that Churchill was her schoolmate at Nasarawa State University, adding that the skit maker was bedridden after the incident.
