BamBams Phone Stolen During Alexx Ekubos Service of Songs

Reality TV star and actress Bam Bam has reportedly lost her phone during the service of songs held in honour of late Nollywood actor Alexx Ekubo, sparking widespread reactions online. The event, organised by Ekubo’s family, took place on Wednesday, June 11, 2026, in Lagos, following his passing in May after a long battle with illness. While the gathering was meant to be a solemn tribute, attention shifted when reports emerged that Bam Bam’s phone had gone missing during the ceremony. A viral video captured the actress and several guests frantically searching for the device, with attendees attempting to call it repeatedly.

In the footage, the phone could be heard ringing, indicating it was within range, but no one answered, raising suspicion of theft. The incident occurred amidst a deeply emotional atmosphere, as family, friends, and colleagues gathered to pay their respects to the late actor. Many attendees were visibly moved, sharing heartfelt tributes and memories of Ekubo’s contributions to Nollywood. Despite the sombre mood, the disappearance of Bam Bam’s phone quickly became a talking point on social media.

The video, shared by GoldMyneTV on Twitter, drew widespread attention and condemnation. One caption accompanying the clip read: “It’s how someone will dress from home only to come steal BamBam phone at an event like this. If you are the one, kindly return it else the anger of God upon you. Since you like events like this, it would soon become your reality except you return that phone. Amen.” The post went viral, with users expressing disbelief that such an act could happen during a memorial service. Many called for the thief to return the phone, while others urged vigilance at public gatherings.

The incident has reignited discussions about security at high-profile events in Nigeria, especially those held in religious or emotional contexts. While no official statement has been released by Bam Bam or her team, fans and followers continue to hope for the safe recovery of the device. The case also highlights the growing concern over petty crimes at public functions, even those of a sensitive nature. As investigations into the theft continue, the focus remains on restoring peace and dignity to an event meant to celebrate a life well-lived. The recovery of the phone could serve as a reminder of the importance of personal security, even in moments of collective mourning.
