He said the Warri-born comedian was not seen come out of his apartment since Friday.
According to NIGER DELTA TODAY ONLINE, sources close to the late comedian said they suspect Brakin Face died since Friday.
It was learnt that his mobile phones had not been reachable since on Friday prompting friends and family members to embark on his search.
The search team was said to have reached out to other of his colleagues who claimed they had not heard from him.
