Nollywood actress Angela Okorie faces online backlash after posting a video showing her burning the outfit she wore to late actor Alex Ekubo’s burial. Multiple outlets report that Alex Ekubo is laid to rest after his death on May 11, following a prolonged battle with stage 4 kidney cancer. According to Okorie’s Instagram posts, she says she acted on advice from her godmother, who told her not to keep clothes worn to a burial around her and to burn the item instead. She also shares that she felt the information was worth telling family and friends. The posts trigger varied reactions on social media, with some people criticizing her for the act and others responding to her explanation. One report notes that Okorie had previously been remanded to the Suleja correctional centre after an arraignment over alleged cyber-related crimes earlier in the year, though those allegations are not directly linked to the burning-outfit controversy in the coverage provided. Overall, outlets agree the dispute centers on Okorie’s public explanation and the backlash it draws after the burial-related video circulated online.
