Ekpe grabbed the klieglight in the 1990s and played the role of ‘Segi’ in a rested sitcom on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) by Ken Saro Wiwa, titled ‘Basi and Company.’

The actress was said to have died on Wednesday, February 7, 2024. She featured in Amaka Igwe’s ‘Forever’ and the ‘Sons of the Caliphate.’

Her death was announced by the Director-General, National Film and Video Censors Board, Dr. Shaibu Husseini, in a late Facebook post on Wednesday.

Husseini wrote, “I have been reliably informed that Ethel Ekpe, (Ethel Aderemi nee Ekpe), the screen beauty that delighted fans with her inimitable interpretation of the role of Segi in the defunct sitcom on Nigerian Television Authority by Ken Saro Wiwa titled ‘Basi and Company’ has passed on.
