Actor Williams Uchemba has declined to speak on the marital status and alleged children of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, insisting that such matters should only be addressed by the actor’s immediate family.
The award-winning actor, who was a close friend of the deceased Ekubo, while speaking during an interview with The Am Show earlier today, said he would respect whatever decision Ekubo made about keeping aspects of his private life away from the public.
“Though I do not think I am in the place to say because if Alex did want it like that, I think I would respect it. I would respect his will and he wanted it that way,” he said.
The actor added that if any information were to be made public, it should come directly from Ekubo’s family.
“If anything would come out from that, it would be his family. People have their decisions, some people would not want it out there or in the public. So, it is still best for his immediate family to say anything on it,” he added.
Uchemba’s comments come amid growing conversations on social media about whether Ekubo had children.
The actor’s family confirmed that he passed away at Evercare Hospital in Lagos after battling metastatic kidney cancer and appealed for privacy as they mourn him.
Ekubo featured in over 100 Nollywood productions during his career.
