Nigerian actress Angela Okorie has explained why she decided to burn the outfit she wore to the burial ceremony of late actor Alexx Ekubo.
Alexx Ekubo was laid to rest in his hometown of Aziukwubwo Ujori village in Arochukwu, Abia State. The 40-year-old actor reportedly died on May 11 after a prolonged battle with stage 4 kidney cancer.
In a post shared via her Instagram story, Angela said she took the action after receiving advice from her godmother, who cautioned against keeping clothing worn to funerals.
“This is the outfit I wore to Alex’s burial. My Godmother said it is not good to keep the clothes you wore to a burial around you; you should burn them,” she wrote.
She went on to say she felt it was important to share the message with her followers.
