The service of songs for late Nollywood star Alexx Ekubo was filled with heartfelt tributes, prayers, and emotional moments as family, friends, and colleagues gathered in Lagos to celebrate his life.
One of the most touching moments came when the actor’s sister-in-law spoke about his marriage to his wife, Anwuli, and the bond he shared with her family.
According to her, the family became convinced that Alexx Ekubo was the right man for Anwuli when he formally approached them to seek her hand in marriage.
She explained that their decision was influenced by the love, respect, and commitment he consistently displayed.
“When Ikenna came forth, we knew he was the one. It was difficult at first because our Anwuli is a special breed. He was an intentional lover,” she said during her tribute.
She further revealed that their mother developed a strong sense of trust in the actor after observing the way he cared for his loved ones.
“My mother was safe with him because she had seen how he loved his family. His family is not just people related to him, but people around him,” she added.
