Fast rising
comedian, CD John, real name John Chijioke, is dead three days before
his birthday. The comedian who came into limelight late last year from
telling church jokes, died in the morning of Thursday March 24, 2011
some hours after being involved in an auto crash.
The Abia State born
comedian was reportedly returning from anchoring a late night event
that was held at Tribeca, Victoria Island when he had the accident. He
was immediately rushed to St. Nicholas hospital where he eventually
gave up the ghost.
Colleagues and
associates have taken to the social media to express tribute to the
comedian. Soundcity Music Video Awards winning singer tweeted “Just
last Sunday, we laughed as he ‘yabbed’ me backstage for not featuring
him on my upcoming album and I told him I’ll still do that. RIP CDJohn”.
Sound Sultan and
rapper MI also tweeted “heard about the passing away of the comedian CD
John. This is really sad cause he was just starting, R.I.P CD John” and
“CD John passed away???? Ahhhhh!!!! Why why why why why why!!!!
Horrible horrible news!!!” respectively.
