The actor’s sister-in-law also said that Ekubo fulfilled his mission on earth and “died empty-handed.” According to her, although his stay was short, he was a lover of Jesus.

She added that anyone who wants to understand true love should have seen Ekubo and his wife together while he was alive.

In her words:

“When Ikenna came forth, we knew he was the one. It was difficult at first because our Awule is a special breed. He was an intentional lover. If you want to experience love, you need to see Ikenna and Awnwuli. 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. He came and fulfilled his mission; yes, it was short because he returned empty. If you want a crazy lover of Jesus.”
