A Nigerian woman has taken to social media to express her grief after unexpectedly coming across a burial convoy linked to actor Alexx Ekubo.
The moment, which unfolded while she was going about her day, left her visibly shaken and she later shared her emotional reaction online as reports surrounding the funeral continued to circulate.
Identified on TikTok as @nmeri, the lady recounted that she had been busy with work when a convoy of vehicles suddenly passed through her location. At first, she did not realise the significance of what she was seeing.
It was only after the procession had gone by that she understood it was connected to the late Nollywood actor, Alexx. The realisation, she explained, hit her with unexpected emotional weight.
She described the experience as unsettling, noting that she suddenly felt a cold sensation as the convoy moved past her.
Reflecting further, she spoke about how death has a way of uniting even strangers in shared grief, and how painful such moments can be regardless of personal connection to the deceased. She also mentioned that she had been in the middle of creating stickers when the incident occurred.
The convoy’s appearance disrupted her work and compelled her to step away and look outside. According to her, the encounter affected her more deeply than she anticipated, prompting her to say a prayer for the actor’s soul to rest in peace.
News of Alexx Ekubo’s passing had already sparked widespread reactions across TikTok, where fans, colleagues, and followers expressed their condolences and shared tributes.
The sight of the burial convoy only intensified the emotions surrounding his death, especially among those who had closely followed his career and public life.
