The movie star pointed out that the family deliberately kept the woman's identity hidden to protect her from public scrutiny.

The update gained attention after an Instagram handle, colorsng, shared Uche's reaction on June 11, 2026. In her statement, the actress made it clear that even during the burial rites, the widow wore a face mask just to maintain her privacy.

The report from ColorsNG on Instagram quoted Uche Jombo as saying:

"A husband who has been through public scrutiny kept his wife private, to protect her. None of his close friends ever shared her picture, she wore a face mask to his service of songs. Yet, somehow, the privacy message didn’t register with bloggers. Woke up today to her videos and pictures all over my TL as breaking news."
