Popular Nollywood actor Stan Nze has confirmed allegations by fellow thespians, BamBam and Susan Peters, that their phones were stolen at the service of songs for their late colleague, Alexx Ekubo.
He reiterated this on Thursday in a post shared on his official Instagram page, revealing that more than five phones went missing at the event.
TheNiche had earlier reported that several movie stars, pastors, gospel artists, and dignitaries graced the service of songs held at the Monarch Event Centre in the Lekki axis of Lagos for the late actor on Wednesday evening.
A few hours later, BamBam raised the alarm on social media, posting the next day that her phone had been stolen from her bag.
She wrote: “I already tracked it instantly last night. Last known location was Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Lagos Island. It has not moved from there. Now it just says Lagos Island. It’s probably sold or dismantled.”
Similarly, another actress, Susan Peters, announced that her iPhone 16 Pro Max had also gone missing during the event.
“iPhone 16 Pro Max white is missing at the Monarch Event Center. It’s an eSIM with my US line so we can’t even call it. The screensaver has my picture. Please repost this. Anyone who finds it will be rewarded. Please, it’s URGENT,” she pleaded.

Reacting to the development, Stan Nze, who was the MC of the service of songs, disclosed that three more phones were stolen.
Questioning the conscience of Nigerians, he asked: “How can you come to a place where people are mourning and steal from them?”
He further claimed that the average Nigerian is wicked and heartless.
“Plenty of times, we complain about the government and how Nigeria is not working, the killings and the insurgency, which is very, very true.
“But I want to address us as a people today. What are our values? I hear people saying that if we get into government, we will do our best, we will change things and policies. To be honest, I doubt that a lot because of the mindset of the average Nigerian.
“I hosted my dear friend’s service of songs last night, and it was one of the hardest things to do. But at that service of songs, over five phones went missing. I’m saying five phones because I don’t want to exaggerate. At least, I know two people who lost their phones personally, and it got me thinking: how can you come to a place where people are mourning and steal from them?
“What has happened to our conscience as a people? At a point, they had to block the gate so that people would not leave until the phones were found. The government is not our problem. Even if we chase everyone in government out now, who will lead? Who will do the job? How is your own personal life? How kind are you to your neighbour? You’re saying that the government is bad, but you’re wicked.
“We’re not kind people. We’re not kind with people’s health, not with money, not with sympathy. We’re not kind people. This is a call to all Nigerians to start doing the right thing in our little circles. People were crying over their phones,” Nze added.
