Nigerian comedian, Mercy Mmesoma Obi Nnadi, popularly known as Ada Jesus, has been buried today amid tears in her husband’s village in Umuakum Ejemewuru, Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.

KanyiDaily recalls that Ada Jesus’ husband, Nnadi Kingsley has opened up about her death, saying he never thought she would die at such a young age.
He said he initially had high hopes that his wife would recover from her ailment because of assurances he got from the doctor and a pastor who prayed for her.
