Actor Uzor Arukwe also reacted, reflecting on his personal shock and silence after hearing the news. He admitted struggling to find the right words, explaining that grief sometimes comes quietly and that some losses “don’t meet you online first” but sit with those affected in private reflection.

Arukwe recalled meeting Ekubo on a film set, describing him as warm, accommodating, and a true gentleman without “noise or airs.” He stressed that beyond fame and talent, people are ultimately remembered for their kindness and how they treat others.

The actor concluded his tribute with prayers and traditional Igbo expressions of farewell, honoring Ekubo’s warmth, grace, and legacy, and wishing him peaceful rest.

These tributes join growing reactions across Nollywood, as colleagues and fans continue to mourn the reported passing of the actor.
