Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has said he would not comment on the late actor Alexx Ekubo’s marital status or purported children, saying that only Ekubo’s personal family should handle such issues.
Uchemba, a close friend of the late actor, stated in a recent interview that he would honour Ekubo’s choice to keep certain aspects of his personal life secret.
“Though I do not think I am in a position 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.

He added that if any information were to be released, it should come directly from the family, noting that some individuals preferred to keep personal matters private.
“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 came after a growing debate on social media regarding Ekubo’s child-bearing status.
After fighting metastatic kidney cancer, Ekubo’s family confirmed his death at Evercare Hospital in Lagos and asked for privacy during his funeral.
Ekubo had appearances in over 100 Nollywood productions over his career.
