Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has reacted to death of her junior colleague, Alex Ekubo.

Newsunplug reported minutes ago that the light-skinned actor had passed away on Monday, May 11th, after a battle with Cancer and was 41 years old.

For a year now, the actor’s whereabouts have been of concern to many as he has been off social media for a long time.

Reacting to the news, Funke said she tried to reach out to him one more time but believed the actor knew the best. She prayed for his soul to rest in peace and promised to cherish and remember the good times they shared.

“Hmmm
Rest in peace, Alex.

I really tried to reach out to see you one more time, but I guess you knew best. May your kind soul rest in peace, Alex.
Ore mi, like you fondly called me, I will always remember and cherish the good times we shared.
Rest in peace, Alex”.
