Nollywood actor Stan Nze has voiced outrage over the shocking theft of smartphones during the memorial service for late screen icon Alexx Ekubo, calling the act a disgraceful violation of the solemn occasion.

Stan Nze has condemned in strong terms the brazen phone thefts that occurred at Alexx Ekubo’s tribute event, stating such behavior tarnishes the memory of the departed and shows utter disregard for grieving attendees.

In an emotional statement following the Lekki-based memorial, the actor revealed multiple devices were stolen during the service, using the incident to highlight deeper societal issues plaguing the nation.

“It’s unconscionable that someone would exploit a memorial service to commit theft. Over five phones were taken while we were honoring Alexx’s legacy,” Nze expressed with visible anger.

“We constantly blame leaders for our problems, but if we remove all officials, who replaces them? The same citizens who steal at funerals,” he added pointedly.
