A Nigerian skitmaker simply identified as Churchill has passed on and by extension sparked devastated reactions among netizens.
According to reports, he passed away while making a skit. In a viral video, Churchhill could be seen dropping his phone on the ground before proceeding to jump and touch the basketball net.
He fell with his head hitting the ground and is reported to have di£d in the process. However, eyewitnesses at the basketball court tried to resuscitate him but to no avail.
He was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced d£ad on arrival.
An X user identified as ACE while sharing the video wrote; “Bruhh! Life is crazy! He was really just trying to make skits and he died 😖😖. I mean,it still looks surreal! God please keep us and save us from untimely death. #ripchurchill 🕯️.”
He was just trying to put smiles on people’s face as a comedian that’s all…

shevowinda: Ahhhh. This is so sad. I would have died a few days to 2024. I was lost in thoughts on the railway at Ikeja. 6 seconds for the train to crush me, God sent an angel in form of a young man, gave him the boldness to run to the rail track, and he touched me to get off. Who would risk his life for a stranger? I thank him, and I thank God. I was cold all through, I couldn’t eat or sleep for 3 days. I aborted my travels.I was traumatized by the experience for the past 3 weeks. I can go out now. I am fine now. So many things came through my mind, I cried too… All Glory to God. May sorrow never be our portion this year in Jesus name, Amen.
mandy__chuks: This is so sad 😭 Who else doesn’t know him 😩🤦♀️.

jamalcastro1: It Happened in my school…..he died after 2days not “dead on arrival”.
iamkenegod’: Another reason for you to respect basketball players.
director_martins: This happens much more than you think. Core Basketball players don’t just Jump to grab the Rim like that. There are Plyometric exercises and Jump drills you don to even Touch the Rim. And there are actual techniques to grab it and Hang on. Such a sad death. RIP young man 🕊.
niji_darlingtv: Omo we’re really passing through a lot just to put smile on people faces may God keep us alive 😢😢😢😢.
