Legit.ng also reported that Chioma had earlier broken her silence days after the late actor’s lavish burial ceremony.
Recall that the actor, who passed away on May 11, 2026, at the age of 40 after battling stage 4 kidney cancer, was laid to rest last week in his hometown in Abia state.
However, a new statement released by a relative has shifted attention from the tributes to concerns about what allegedly happened behind the scenes.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, June 25, David Ekubo, who identified himself as a cousin of the late actor, claimed that members of the Ekubo family were not fully informed about important developments surrounding Alexx's passing.
According to him, some relatives remain troubled by what they described as unanswered questions.
“With grave pain, heaviness and sorrow, the family of Ikenna Alex Ekubo advises the public that the events leading up to his passing have been unclear,” the statement read.
David further alleged that the family was not immediately informed about Alexx's death when it occurred on May 11.
According to David, a family representative who officially received the actor's body from the mortuary, he was allegedly not allowed to view it.
He argued that this and other developments have contributed to growing concerns among relatives.
The statement also questioned certain decisions surrounding the funeral arrangements.
David claimed that some family members did not approve of aspects of the burial proceedings, particularly the decision to wear white during parts of the funeral.
According to him, the family viewed the colour choice as a celebration of life for someone who passed away at a relatively young age.
“The Ekubo family did not approve the wearing of white for what seemed to be a celebration of life for a 40-year-old Alex Ekubo whose life was suddenly cut short,” the statement alleged.
The statement also claimed that Alexx's biological mother and only sibling had yet to receive a formal explanation regarding the circumstances surrounding his death.
David described the actor's passing as "untimely" and questioned why more information had not been shared with immediate relatives.
As of the time of filing this report, no official response had been issued by Alexx Ekubo's management team or representatives regarding the allegations.
Following that, a viral throwback video on social media showed Chioma dancing with her late brother at a family function.
Alongside the clip, she poured out her heart in a moving caption she wrote:
“My brother, this wasn't the plan. How did you do this to me💔💔💔. Please come back to me😭😭😭.”
