In an emotional post shared on his Instagram page, Arukwe reflected on his relationship with the late actor, noting that they first met on a movie set.

He described Ekubo as warm, approachable, and a true gentleman, adding that testimonies from people who knew him more closely had left him deeply humbled.

Arukwe wrote:

“I’ve been quiet. And I know some people wondered why I didn’t post, why I didn’t say anything, why there were no pictures, no captions, no public display of grief. The truth is, I didn’t know what to say. Some losses don’t meet you online first; they sit with you quietly… I met Alex Ikenna Ekubo on Dabby Chimere’s set. From day one, he was warm, accommodating, and every bit the gentleman people have described him to be. No noise. No airs. Just a genuinely good man.”

He added that hearing stories about Ekubo’s life reminded him that a person’s legacy is often defined not only by success or talent, but by kindness and how they treat others.

According to him, his initial silence was a natural response to grief, stressing that not all goodbyes require public statements, as some are better carried in prayers, memories, and the heart.
