Clinton Ekubo, an alleged relative of late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo, has spoken out about the circumstances surrounding his death.
In a lengthy post on his Facebook page, he accused Alex’s stepmother of sidelining the family and influencing major decisions surrounding his life and burial.
He claimed that his stepmother arranged his stepmother’s best friend’s daughter as a wife for Alex without his family’s knowledge, and the marriage was done just like that. He said he and other family members were shocked to learn he was married.
Clinton revealed that the late actor lost interest in their family and became a member of his stepmother’s family to the extent that he attended every marriage in her family. According to him, there was no intimacy between Alex and Chioma, his own biological sister from the same mother, and he became too close to his stepmother’s children.
He claimed Alex rejected his biological mother while she was alive and didn’t want to do anything with her. Clinton said the burial arrangement was rushed as if there was something they were hiding.
He observed that at the funeral, there was a blood clot in his eyes and heard that the actor had been brought to the hospital dead. He demanded an explanation for what happened.
“Honestly speaking, my brother David Ekubo and my sister Ify Ekubo were right in their write-up.
His stepmother arranged for Alex to marry her best friend’s daughter as his wife without Ekubo Okwareke’s family’s knowledge, and the marriage was done just like that. We were shocked when we heard that Alex was married. I personally asked, “What is going on?”
