In the video, Debbie Jackson expressed grief as she questioned how Taidu became the latest Junka Town movie star to pass away in recent years after Ajara Mapouka, Yogot and Bolga Jay-Z.
The comic actress could not hide her emotions as she prayed for mercy upon the lives of the remaining cast from the comic movie, which gained massive popularity in Ghana in the 2010s and launched the careers of a few members of the cast.

His death comes several months after the passing of his fellow Junka Town movie colleague Osman Idris, popularly known as Yogot while on admission at Great Faith Clinic inside the Efua Crentsil Building at Effiakuma in Takoradi due to a severe health condition on June 11, 2024.
