Reports gathered from Freetown say, Sierra Leone’s most popular comedian, Momoh Ranka died last night at the Magburaka Government hospital after suffering from a protracted illness that kept him in hospital for over six months.<\/p>\n
In a country riddled and decayed by appalling medical facilities aggravated by superstition and stone age beliefs and practices,\u00a0 no clear medical report has been established about the cause of death.<\/p>\n
Various sources contacted on the ground attributed the cause of death to witch gun or “fankay”.<\/p>\n
Momoh Ranka\u00a0 created indelible footprints in the arena of comedy and entertainment through the Bulgur music comedy album in which he served as the main protagonist.<\/p>\n
The Artists Union of Bo reportedly travelled to Magburaka this morning to collect the body for a befitting burial.<\/p>\n
Momoh Ranka\u00a0 had won every single comedy competition organised in the country. His songs, including the one entitled ” land that we love ” is reportedly being played across the country.<\/p>\n
Youths are dying in the country en masse of unknown ailments but nothing has been done so far to ascertain the causes of these early deaths.<\/p>\n
May his soul rest in perfect peace.<\/p>\n
