“I always call him Doc, Chief Ikuku Ikenna. I named my son after him because he was a great father to me. You’re not just my boss, you’re my mentor, my big brother, my confidant, and one of the most important people in my life. I keep wishing it was all a prank,” he said.

The emotional bodyguard recalled how he spent years working closely with Alex, sharing conversations, making plans, and learning valuable life lessons from him.

“Doc, I opened your door as I always do, expecting you to step out. I stood there hoping and praying that this wasn’t real, but you didn’t step out.

Your commando is shattered. I can’t look at your pictures anymore. I can’t watch your movies anymore. Everything I have today is because of you. Boss, I love you. I will always love you. Keep resting till we meet again,” he added.

His tribute moved many mourners to tears, with videos from the wake-keep quickly spreading across social media.

As family, friends, colleagues, and fans continue to mourn the actor, Miracle’s touching words served as a reminder of the impact Alex Ekubo had on the lives of people around him.
