Lady explains man's action on Alex Ekubo's coffin
A video from Alex Ekubo's coffin showed a man touching the coffin in a way many described as "suspicious."
Following the event, a lady identified as Kikky Chukwurah on Facebook, who was reacting to a post by actor Dantani Kurki Samson, shared what she found out about the man after her research.
She said in her comment:
"I had to research about his action and this is what i got. The man seen in the video is a staff member from Ebony Funeral Home (the undertaker service handling the late actor's repatriation and burial).
"His actions were strictly part of his professional duties and are not supernatural or malicious:
"Checking the Temperature: The undertaker touched the casket with the back of his hand (where his ring was) to check if the coffin was still properly frozen and cold. Because transporting bodies requires long-distance travel and stopovers, funeral directors constantly monitor the cooling to prevent decomposition.
"Doing His Job: The nod he gave after touching the casket was likely an acknowledgement to his colleague (or the person in the red cap) to confirm that the casket's temperature was holding up, which ensures the body is preserved perfectly before lying in state."
