“Ikebobo m!!!! Chaiii!!! Words fail me!!! You didn’t do well this time around. I hope you’re seeing this message. Look how the world is hurting. You left without saying goodbye.”
Ify further revealed that they still had plans together for June in Houston before his sudden death changed everything.
The grieving family member admitted she still had many things left unsaid and unfinished with the actor.
She said:
“We had a lot to finish up!! Plans for June in Houston! Ikebobo you did this to me! I am upset! I am not happy Ikenna!”. You told me you will call me back after our phone conversation before your birthday. So that was it?!”
Ify also described the late actor as a strong presence in her children’s lives.
According to her, Alexx was not just an uncle but a mentor and elder brother figure to them.
She added:
“You were a mentor to my children and their elder brother. They miss you! They miss their uncle. This is not fair!”
