Nollywood actor Ikechukwu Ogbonna has addressed growing concerns over the wellbeing of his close friend and colleague, Alex Ekubo, following his prolonged absence from social media and public appearances.

Gossip News Now reports that Ogbonna spoke on the issue in a video shared online, where he was seen alongside Alex at a family event.

According to him, Alex recently attended his sister’s wedding and looked healthy and in good spirits.

Ogbonna explained that the actor is not battling any health challenges but deliberately chose to step away from social media and public engagements for personal reasons.

He said Alex decided to take time off to focus on himself and enjoy some rest away from the pressures that come with constant public attention.

He stated, “Alex is very okay. He is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him.

“He simply decided to take a break because, sometimes, people need time away from social media and social gatherings.”

Alex Ekubo’s extended silence online had sparked concern among fans after he stopped posting for several months.

His last Instagram activity was on December 30, 2024, prompting many followers to repeatedly check his page to inquire about his wellbeing and offer words of support.
