Indian Doctor Speaks on Late Alexx Ekubo
The medical expert, Dr Shaila, explained that specifically in the year 2019, that was the year she got to know Alexx Ekubo, and since then they have been in touch. She spoke about her visit to Nigeria some time back, where she met Alex and also stayed in contact with him for about 60 days. To her, she said the late actor was like a brother, a son, a friend, and someone who appreciated her work.
Her statement: “Rest in Peace Son.” “I have been in touch with Alex since 29 August 2019. Although we never met in person, our connection over the years was meaningful.” “During my last visit to Nigeria, where I travelled across more than 25 states, in 60 days we remained in contact. To me, Alex was like a son, a brother, and a dear friend—someone who genuinely appreciated my work and had reached out for medical guidance for his loved ones a couple of times.”
Speaking about the aftermath of his death, she explained that she never knew Alexx Ekubo was unwell, as he never mentioned it to her. However, Dr Shaila on her Instagram page wrote: “It deeply saddens me to know that Alex himself was unwell, and I had absolutely no knowledge of it. He never once mentioned his own health struggles to me. Perhaps during his illness, treatment, and recovery, he did not think of reaching out—or even remember that I help patients access advanced medical care across India and other parts of the world. That thought weighs heavily on my heart.”
“What makes this loss even more painful is that he was so young, and by all accounts, an exceptionally kind and caring human being. He spoke often about the well-being of others, yet remained silent about his own.” After his passing, and she learned of the tragic news, she revealed what she did immediately she got the news of the actor’s death.

I felt a deep sense of regret—not knowing, not noticing, and not being able to offer help when it might have mattered.” “But in the end, we are reminded that everything is in the hands of the Creator. In India, we say we are like ‘katputli’—mere puppets in the divine play of life.”
“I have reached out to some of Alex’s close friends and spoke to his father to express my heartfelt condolences. Though I am far away, in another continent, my thoughts and prayers are with his family, his spouse, his siblings, his friends, and all who loved him.”
