Prominent figures across the Nigerian entertainment industry, corporate elite, and high-profile dignitaries gathered in massive numbers on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, to pay their final respects during the emotional Service of Songs for the late celebrated Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo.
The heavily attended tribute ceremony took place at The Monarch Event Centre in Lagos, with attendees strictly adhering to an all-white dress code explicitly requested by the grieving Ekubo family.
The beloved movie star tragically passed away on May 11, 2026, following a private and intensely brave battle with kidney cancer, plunging the African cinematic community into profound mourning.
The star-studded congregation featured a long list of industry heavyweights, including close colleagues and lifelong friends such as Funke Akindele, Kate Henshaw, Chioma Akpotha, Ebele Okaro, Nancy Isime, Ruth Kadiri, Nkechi Blessing, Stan Nze, Blessing Obasi, IK Ogbonna, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and celebrity socialite Cubana Chief Priest.
