Kamal Iliyasu, the famous Hausa skit maker known as Kamal Aboki, is dead.

On Monday, the BBC Pidgin reported that the comedian died in a car accident while coming from Borno to Kano state. Until his death, Kamal was a viral sensation on TikTok with a huge following. He started gathering fame after his Hausa-themed skits surfaced online.

His elder brother, Usman, spoke on his death to our source and said their mother had a premonition that something terrible would happen to the skit maker on Monday.

“Kamal travelled to Maiduguri three days ago for an album launch. He was on his way back to Kano when the unfortunate incident happened to him,” said.

“On Monday, my mother asked me to call him. I did that around 5pm and he told us he was already inside a vehicle to Kano. Then, my mother started feeling somehow.

“Later, somebody called me and asked if I had someone travelling from Maiduguri to Kano, and I told the person yes. It was at that point the caller broke news of what happened to me.”

Usman said Kamal’s death has left his family unsettled, adding that he will be greatly missed.

“Kamal is one of the nicest persons in the world. He is always joking and playing with people. Everyone will miss him,” he added.
