Nigerian social media users have begun expressing concern over the prolonged absence of popular Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo, who seems to have vanished from both social media and public events.
The conversation started after an X user, @don_pet, pointed out how the actor had been missing in action for a long time, writing:
“Like play like play, no one has seen Alex Ekubo again for a very long time and everyone has moved on. Reflect on this anytime you feel you are too important!”
Another user, @RexChibuzo_, quickly asked what happened, prompting Donpir to give a lengthy backstory about the actor’s sudden disappearance.
He wrote:
“Very handsome actor from Arochukwu, very jovial with good sense of humour. Was following Obi Cubana dem in instigator plus nna anyi sacrifice to events and throwing money around.
He got engaged to one American-based Naija babe but the girl broke off the engagement without saying why exactly but people insinuated it had something to do with him liking men too (allegedly o). I think that affected him a lot, he carried on as usual for a while and then disappeared.”
He further explained that Ekubo hasn’t been active on social media for a while now:
“No social media presence, you don’t see him again but on occasions. He used to post everything about him and his lifestyle online but hasn’t posted since 2024. He’s a nice guy and I just wish he is ok.”
Fans have now taken to social media to share their worries, with many recalling how lively and visible the actor used to be at major events and on Instagram.
