Actress Victoria Inyama has added a new layer of controversy to the passing of Nollywood star Alex Ekubo, alleging that a prominent Nigerian clergyman’s attempt to provide life-saving medical support was deliberately blocked.
Ekubo, a widely celebrated actor, passed away on May 11, 2026, at the age of 40 following a private battle with metastatic kidney cancer. Since the confirmation of his death, internal family disputes have surfaced, with accusations directed at his stepmother regarding the restriction of access to the actor during his final months of illness….See More
In a recent social media statement, Inyama claimed that a high-profile pastor—known for his philanthropic work—had reached out to assist the actor with funding for international medical treatment. According to Inyama, the cleric’s repeated efforts to intervene were thwarted by those closest to Ekubo, who insisted that the actor’s health was stable.
“Without mentioning names, one of the biggest and kindest pastors in Nigeria tried to help but was always told by his inner circle that Alex was fine,” Inyama wrote. She further asserted that the pastor was not seeking to perform a miracle but was prepared to foot the bill for expert care anywhere in the world.
Inyama’s revelations follow a public post by a family member, David Ekubo, which hinted at the difficulties the actor faced during his treatment. The actress lamented that the pastor was only notified of the situation after Ekubo had passed, suggesting that had the medical support been accepted, the outcome of the actor’s battle with cancer might have been different.
While the Ekubo family has largely focused on mourning the actor and arranging funeral proceedings, these allegations have amplified public scrutiny over the circumstances surrounding his care. As of now, representatives for the family have not issued a formal response to these specific claims….See More
