"I think I was the only family member that saw his corpse and stood my ground to supervise what was going on? Her family members were everywhere as if it was their own. The burial arrangement was rushed as if there was something somebody is trying to cover for us. Nobody is explaining what really happened to our son. How come the blood clot on his eyes? Is blood clot part of the cancer? We also heard that Alex Ekubo was brought to the hospital dead. My uncle (father) knew nothing about all this.
His death announcement was a shock to me and was buried like that. My uncle is responding to his wife because, he is at his wife’s mercy forgetting that we own him and his son Alex.

"She channeled Alex Ekubo to her family, while there was nothing we do in Ekubo Okwaraeke family that he will attend or show internet. Alex lost interest in our family to the extent that he attends every single marriages done in her family. There was no intimacy between Alex and Chioma, his own biological sister from the same mother and became too close to his stepmother’s children which I don’t understand," he said.

According to Stanley, family members were unaware of Alexx's sickness or death until it was announced by his stepmother, as he demanded she explain what happened to the actor.
