A Facebook user, identified as Blessing Nnamekwe, has sparked concern online after drawing attention to what she described as unusual behaviour by a man near Alexx Ekubo’s casket in his hometown of Arochukwu, Abia State.
On June 17, family members, friends, colleagues, and other well-wishers gathered in the actor’s hometown to pay their final respects as his remains arrived for burial rites.
Suspicious moment near Alexx Ekubo’s casket
During the proceedings on June 17, Blessing Nnamekwe shared a short video on Facebook capturing a moment that quickly stirred reactions online.
In the clip, an unidentified bald man dressed in black was seen briefly extending his right hand to touch Alexx’s coffin while it was still positioned inside an ambulance.
The post immediately generated attention, with Blessing questioning the man’s action and urging members of the late actor’s family to look into the incident.
In her words: “Alex Okubo family should question this man….why did he touched the casket ⚰️ with his ring?”
Another Facebook user, Mazi Jude Pondis, echoed similar concerns and shared a longer version of the video. The extended clip showed the same moment the man made contact with the casket.
He wrote: “Did anyone else notice what that man in black suit did to Alex Ekubo’s casket abi is only me, Mazi Jude Pondis that noticed what I just observed 🙄? “While everyone else was m0urning and screaming, he used his ring & touched Alex’s casket. “Watch the video closely, you will notice what I’m talking about.
