Family Explains Why They Accepted Him
Speaking during the event, the sister-in-law recalled how the family first met Alexx Ekubo when he came to ask for their daughter’s hand in marriage.

“He Returned Empty – Sister-in-Law Breaks down
In her emotional tribute, she also spoke about his life and impact, noting that Ekubo fulfilled his mission on earth but died empty-handed.
She said: “When Ikenna came forth, we knew he was the one. It was difficult at first because our Anwuli is a special breed. He was an intentional lover. If you want to experience love, you need to see Ikenna and Awnwuli. My mother was safe with him because she had seen how he loved his family. His family is not just people related to him, but people around him. He came and fulfilled his mission; yes, it was short because he returned empty. If you want a crazy lover of Jesus.”
