A loyal fan of Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo has reportedly passed away while making arrangements connected to the actor’s funeral.
The Nigerian film industry was thrown into mourning following reports of the actor’s death a few weeks ago after his family announced he had died after a private battle with cancer. According to reports, he had kept his illness away from public attention, sharing it with only a few close associates before his passing.
In a statement shared on his fan page, it was revealed that Matilda, one of Ekubo’s most devoted supporters, had died. She was said to have played a key role in connecting the actor’s family with his fan community.
Further details showed that Matilda was among the founding members of the Alexx Ekubo fan club and was affectionately nicknamed “Iyá Ibadan” by the actor during his live sessions.
She was described by those who knew her as a dedicated, kind-hearted, and selfless individual who remained actively involved in coordinating communications between the late actor’s family and his fans.
Tragically, she reportedly died last week while in the process of finalizing funeral arrangements with the family. The circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear, including whether she was involved in any accident.
News of her passing has left fans in shock and mourning, with many taking to social platforms to express grief. Tributes poured in as supporters prayed for the peaceful repose of her soul, while others expressed hope that she would reunite with the actor in the afterlife.
