Actress BamBam's phone stolen at Alex Ekubo's memorial service

Social media users have been left shocked after a video circulating online captured Nigerian actress Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, also known as BamBam, lamenting the theft of her mobile phone during the ‘Service of Songs’ held in honour of late Nollywood actor Alex Ekubo.

In the viral video, the visibly distressed actress was seen informing people around her that her phone had gone missing during the event.

According to reports, attempts were made to call the device shortly after it was discovered missing.

The phone reportedly rang several times before eventually becoming unreachable.

The incident has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many netizens expressing surprise that such an occurrence could happen at a gathering attended by numerous celebrities and industry figures.

Some social media users questioned how a celebrity’s phone could be stolen in the presence of other high-profile personalities, while others pointed out that not everyone at the event was a celebrity.

According to this group, public events often attract people from different backgrounds, making it possible for such incidents to occur despite the presence of well-known personalities.

This development has since generated significant discussion across social media platforms, with many sympathising with the actress over the unfortunate incident and hoping her device can be recovered.

Meanwhile, neither Bambam nor the organisers of the memorial event have publicly provided further details regarding the alleged theft as discussions continue online.
