We for come dey with you, everybody go off phone come. To spend time with you and give you strength. You never know, help could come from where you least expected. This style of blanking everyone till death, e no good oo Chief Ikuku. The pain you inflicted on us is terrible," Edochie wrote.

The post resonated widely online, drawing an outpouring of reactions from fans and fellow industry figures who shared in the grief over Ekubo's passing.
