Nigerian comedian and actor Ayo Makun has joined many in mourning beloved actor, Alex Ekubo.

Newsunplug reported on Tuesday that the light-skinned actor had passed away on Monday, May 11th, after a battle with Cancer and was 40 years old.

The actor who was close to the deceased revealed that the actor was still smiling even in death. He said he saw the tears from friends and family, and a part of him is still in shock.

Makun expressed how some losses don’t feel real, no matter how many times one tries to process them. He said he was still struggling with the reality that he is gone.

Expressing hurt over his demise, he recalled their laughter, conversations, random moments, brotherhood and the memories they shared.

“Some losses do not feel real, no matter how many times you try to process them.

Still struggling with the reality that you are gone, Alex.

From the laughter to the conversations, the random moments, the brotherhood, and all the memories we shared in this industry… this one hurts deeply.

I was there. I saw you still smiling even in death. I saw the tears from friends and family. And honestly, a part of me is still in shock.

Rest well, my brother.
You will be remembered beyond the lights, the cameras, and the fame”.
