Fresh controversy has emerged following the death of Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo after members of his extended family publicly raised concerns over the circumstances surrounding his passing.
In a strongly worded statement shared online, the family claimed they were not properly informed about the actor’s death, alleging that several key details surrounding the events leading to his passing remain unclear.
According to the statement, the family was allegedly not notified when the actor passed away on May 11 and claimed that a family representative who officially received his body from the mortuary was not permitted to view it.
The family further questioned decisions surrounding funeral arrangements, including reports that mourners were encouraged to wear white during what was described as a celebration of life event.
They argued that they did not approve of such arrangements and maintained that they were still seeking answers regarding the actor’s sudden death.
The statement also claimed that Alex Ekubo’s biological mother and his only sibling had not been formally briefed on the circumstances surrounding his passing.
The controversy deepened after another family member defended the public disclosure, insisting the family had made several unsuccessful attempts to address the matter privately before taking their concerns online.
The relative stressed that the family was not seeking attention but rather accountability and clarity regarding the events that led to the actor’s death.
The individual also challenged anyone claiming to represent the family to refute the allegations if they were inaccurate, insisting that the concerns being raised were genuine.
The claims have since triggered intense debate on social media, with fans expressing shock over the unfolding family dispute while others called for transparency and calm as questions continue to swirl around the late actor’s passing.
