Yvonne Jegede Faces Backlash Over Outfit at Alex Ekubo’s Service of Songs

 

The memorial event, which took place on Wednesday, June 10, at the Monarch Event Centre, brought together family members, friends, colleagues and well-wishers who gathered to pay their final respects to the late actor.

Ekubo reportedly passed away in Lagos on May 11, 2026, following a battle with advanced metastatic kidney cancer.

However, beyond the tributes and emotional moments that characterised the occasion, attention has shifted to Jegede after a video showing her outfit at the event surfaced online.
