The bodyguard of the late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo has opened up about what he described as his final duty moment with his late boss.

While speaking at the late actor’s wake-keep ceremony in Arochukwu, Abia State, Miracle recounted how he performed what he called his last routine act of service.

According to him, the hardest part of the loss was not just the news of the actor’s passing, but the painful reality of still holding on to daily habits that once defined their relationship.

“Doc, I opened your door as I always do, expecting you to step out. I stood there hoping and praying that this wasn’t real, but you didn’t step out,” he said.

That single moment, he explained, shattered the routine that had shaped years of loyalty and service between them.

Miracle revealed that even after the actor’s passing, he struggled with the instinct of continuing his duties — a reflection of how deeply embedded their bond had become.

He explained that what used to be a simple professional routine had turned into a painful reminder of loss, as every action now felt like an echo of the past.

The bodyguard, who described Alexx Ekubo as a mentor and father figure, said he had built his life around serving and learning from the actor, making the separation even more difficult to process.

In another emotional part of his tribute, Miracle spoke about the impact the actor had on his personal life, revealing that his success and stability were tied to Alexx’s guidance.

He noted that the late actor not only supported him professionally but also shaped his values, discipline, and outlook on life.
