Ekubo reportedly passed away on Monday, May 11, 2026, after a prolonged battle with cancer.

The actor was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer in 2024 and later underwent a transplant. However, his condition reportedly worsened in 2026 when his liver failed again, leading to severe complications. He died hours after being placed on life support.

In an emotional Instagram post, AY, who suggested he was present at the hospital, described Ekubo’s death as deeply painful and still difficult to accept.

He wrote that the late actor was still smiling at the moment of his passing.

“Some losses do not feel real no matter how many times you try to process them. Still struggling with the reality that you are gone, Alex,” AY wrote.

He added: “From the laughter to the conversations, the random moments, the brotherhood, and all the memories we shared in this industry. This one hurts deeply.

“I was there. I saw you still smiling even in death. I saw the tears from friends and family. And honestly, a part of me is still in shock. Rest well my brother. You will be remembered beyond the lights, the cameras, and the fame.”

Another close friend, Godwin Nnadiekwe, also revealed that Ekubo had prepared his will before his passing, a detail he said made the news even more heartbreaking.

“Alex Ekubo. To think you already prepared your will, it’s a heartbreak I can’t quite describe. Rest well, my friend,” he wrote on Instagram.

Meanwhile, the family of the late actor confirmed that he died from complications linked to advanced metastatic kidney cancer. In a statement shared on his official Instagram page, they said he passed away at Evercare Hospital after a brief but courageous battle with the illness.

They described him as a beloved husband, son, brother, and friend, noting that he faced his illness with strength, faith, and hope throughout his final days.

The family also requested privacy as they mourn, adding that details of the funeral arrangements would be announced later.

Nigerian actor and social commentator Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has opened up about why he scaled back his active criticism of the government after years of vocal political advocacy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • The Toll of Advocacy: Reflecting on the aftermath of the End SARS protests and subsequent political cycles, he noted that despite putting his life at risk, he frequently faced insults, curses, and betrayal from the very people he was advocating for, making his activism feel unappreciated and tiring.

  • Current Focus: While emphasizing that he is weary of repeating the same grievances, Mr Macaroni stated that he is currently taking a break to redefine his art and lifestyle. However, he left the door open for his return, declaring, “When Nigerians are finally ready, I will be ready too!”
