Ugochukwu Ugwoke wrote on X:

"The silence and composure of the wife of the late Alexx Ekubo at his burial as seen in this video is not always strength. Sometimes grief goes so deep that even tears fail.
That kind of silence is often the loudest cry and it can be very dangerous.
When everyone leaves, the real weight begins. I hope she has people who will stay with her beyond the funeral, because unspoken and unexpressed grief often returns heavier.
May God console her and the whole family🙏🏿"
