The actor passed away in Lagos State on Wednesday due to cancer.
Ekpe’s passing was revealed in a Facebook post on Wednesday night by Shaibu Husseini, the Director General of the National Film and Video Censors Board, or NFVCB.
He remarked:
I have been reliably informed that Ethel Ekpe, the screen beauty that delighted fans with her inimitable interpretation of the role of Segi in the defunct sitcom on Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, by Ken Saro Wiwa titled ‘Basi and Company’ has passed on.
