Alexx Ekubo's burial: Reactions trail lady's revelation

Nnenna Ibiam Okoye said:

"This is too hard. Since it happened, he has always been on my mind. Alex was more than a brother to him. People don’t understand that level of pain , it will change him forever. He will see life differently. You don’t know it till you have experienced it. Like he won’t be surprised at anyone’s demise anymore cos he has seen a greater pain. When I lost my elder sister in 2013, the tall beauty and brain that led all her mates was laid before us in cold, covered under 6feet before our eyes. Since that year till now, there is nobody’s death that will surprise me more than it. Surprisingly Alex and Jnr pope’s death touched the core of my heart, maybe cos they are too young, just same age with my elder brother, I see my brother in Alex and it hurts me so much as if I lost him too."
