Late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo's sister-in-law has opened up about his marriage to his wife, Anwuli, during the actor's service of songs. The movie star began his final journey with a service of songs held in Lagos State, where his colleagues were in attendance. Many were moved to tears after hearing what his sister-in-law said about the couple.
Sister-in-Law's Emotional Tribute
During the ceremony, one of the sisters-in-law of the deceased shared an emotional tribute about him. According to her, when Ekubo came to their family to ask for his wife's hand in marriage, the family was certain he was the right person for her. She further shared that Alexx Ekubo was an intentional lover, and their mother felt safe with the movie star.
Sharing more, she noted that they observed how Ekubo loved his family and the people around him, which made them confident he was the right person for their sister.
Fulfilled Mission on Earth
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."
