Nollywood actress Victoria Inyama has joined the growing discourse surrounding the illness and death of late actor Alex Ekubo, making serious allegations about the handling of his medical care during his battle with cancer. Her comments, shared on Instagram, follow a public statement by David Ekubo, a family member, who revealed that Alex’s stepmother restricted access to the actor during his final days and only informed relatives after his passing. Victoria’s intervention adds a new layer to the controversy, as she highlights a missed opportunity for medical intervention by a prominent Nigerian pastor who was willing to fund treatment abroad.
Victoria expressed empathy for David Ekubo, acknowledging the emotional toll of speaking out publicly. She noted that the pastor, whom she described as one of the biggest and kindest in Nigeria, had repeatedly tried to offer financial support for Alex’s medical treatment. According to her, the pastor’s intention was purely practical—he was ready to pay for any medical bill, anywhere in the world, to ensure Alex received the best possible care. However, she alleged that those close to Alex consistently told the pastor that the actor was “fine,” effectively blocking any intervention.
She emphasized that the pastor was never informed Alex was hospitalized and was only contacted after his death. This, she said, was particularly painful because the pastor was not offering spiritual healing or miracles, but concrete, financial assistance to pursue modern cancer treatments. Victoria pointed out that cancer today has multiple treatment options, and that any genuine mother would accept help to try everything possible for her child. Her words reflect deep concern over what she sees as a failure to act when help was available.
Her Instagram post included a heartfelt message to David Ekubo, urging him to remember that his mother is now vulnerable and in need of support. The actress’s comments come amid broader family tensions, with Alex’s family accusing his stepmother of withholding information and limiting access during his illness. Victoria’s account, while not naming the pastor directly, underscores the importance of transparency and timely support in medical crises.
As the public continues to reflect on Alex Ekubo’s final days, Victoria’s revelations highlight the emotional and logistical challenges families face during health emergencies. Her call for compassion and openness may resonate with many Nigerians who value community support and timely intervention in times of crisis. The story continues to unfold, with more voices expected to speak on the matter in the coming days.
