The likes of Rita Dominic, Uche Jombo, Mercy Johnson , Mode Duncan, Bolanle Ninalowo, Peggy Ovire, Linda Ejiofor, Peggy Ovire, and others had mourned him.
A video of the actor on a movie set has gone viral online, leaving many heartbroken. While many were expecting a big comeback from the actor who has been away from the social scene for over two years, death came knocking.
In the clip, the actor was seen arriving at a movie set 30 minutes late, apologising to the cast and crew. He was working with producer and director Dabby Chimere.
There is no doubt that the actor was a joy to be around, as the clip proves. The actor radiated happiness with everyone on set, and many have testified to it.
Last year, netizens expressed concern about Alex’s absence on social media. The light-skinned actor hasn’t been active on Instagram since 2024.
Speaking up for him, Oma Nnadi had addressed those sending her messages about him. Oma told them to stop looking for Alex as he is healthy, well and fine. She noted how everyone must not be on social media.
The talented actor was later spotted in a video with some kids.
In 2023, during the wake of talented Nigerian singer Mohbad’s death, Alex shared a deep message about the irony of life. He noted how people cry for the dead yet keep malice with the living. He pointed out how we envy the successful and avoid the broke (poor) ones.
Also, during Junior Pope’s death, Ekubo wrote a heartfelt note, praying that we be surrounded by people with wisdom and human sympathy in our helpless moments and not those who are more interested in creating content out of one’s situations.
