It is a sad Easter.

The Kenyan comedy fraternity is mourning the sudden demise of one of their own.

News reaching us is that popular Churchill show comedian Emmanuel Makori Nyambane aka Ayeiya Poa Poa is dead.

Ayeiya Poa Poa was involved in a grisly road accident near Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA). He died on the spot. He was traveling in the company of his wife, actor Maina Olwenya, comedian Paul Wakimani Ogutu and a friend.

Although details are still scanty, Laugh Industry's Ken Waudo, confirmed the sad news to Mpasho. In an official statement he said;

"Guys it's indeed true Ayeiya is no more just called Wakimani's number it was picked by a lady by the name Ann, they are at Kenyatta [National Hospital] . Ayeiya didn't make it but the wife and Wakimani are admitted.

The accident occurred near CUEA. The Premio hit an electric post. that's the info am getting but yet to confirm the whole story."

Here are photos from last night's accident scene.

Ayeiya was known for his creative and fresh jokes that always left many in stitches.

We at Mpasho send our condolences to his family.

May he forever rest in peace.
