He moved to Spain, where he was signed by former Barcelona coach, Sergio Lobera for Segunda División B club San Roque. He played over 40 matches to lead San Roque to their most successful season. In summer 2012, he was transferred to Spanish club AD Ceuta where Sergio Lobera was now the head coach.

The following season, Ekedo was signed by the champions of Morocco, Moghreb Atlético Tetuán. Playing in a central midfield position, Ekedo was named five times in the Botola League, team of the week. However, fiscal problems at Moghreb led to Ekedo leaving the club. He was soon after signed up on a lucrative contract by Al Itihaad in the top flight in Oman.
