“They are really in pain”: IK Ogbonna and Yomi Casual finally breaks silence Alexx Ekubo’s demise

Nollywood Actor, IK Ogbonna and Fashion Designer, Yomi Casual, two close friends of late Nollywood actor, Alexx Ekubo, have finally reacted to his sad passing.

Since the tragic demise of the Nigerian movie star, tributes have poured in from several celebrities and well-wishers online, reflecting on the great memories they shared with him.

Fans were more concerned about IK Ogbonna and Yomi Casual, as the duo were very close friends of Alexx Ekubo.

Recall that Yomi Casual’s wife had earlier paid tribute to the actor, disclosing that her husband and IK Ogbonna did not take Alexx Ekubo’s death well.

Honouring their late friend without saying a word, both celebrities updated their profile pictures to images of Alexx Ekubo.

Yomi Casual uploaded a photo of himself with the actor taken while he was still alive, while IK Ogbonna shared a solo image of his late friend.

In the photo posted by the actor, Alexx Ekubo appeared dressed in a white shirt, a detail many fans interpreted as a reflection of the kind of pure life he lived.

Meanwhile, in the picture shared by the fashion designer, both he and Alexx Ekubo were dressed in black and smiling for the camera, with the late actor resting one arm on Yomi’s shoulder.

Reacting to the posts, fans urged people close to Ekubo’s friends to check on them. They noted that the bond between them was genuine, as they were frequently seen attending events together.

Some others remarked that the two friends might just be coming to terms with the reality of Ekubo’s passing. They also suggested that the night could be especially difficult for Ogbonna because of how close he was to the late actor.
