Nollywood actress and singer Angela Okorie has found herself at the centre of a social media backlash following a controversial video she shared on Sunday showing her burning the clothes she wore to the burial of her late colleague, Alexx Ekubo.
The 40-year-old actor was laid to rest on Thursday, June 18, in Arochukwu, Abia State, after a battle with metastatic kidney cancer.
Okorie took to her Instagram Story on Sunday to film the outfit on fire, explaining that the ritual was based on advice from a spiritual authority figure.
“This is the outfit I wore to Alex’s burial,” the actress captioned the video.
“My Godmother said it’s not good to have the cloth you wore to a burial around you, you burn them. So family and friends take note, I felt I should share this information, may the lord keep and bless us with long life, amen.”
