One of the sons of veteran Nigerian Nollywood star, Pete Edochie, has debunked the rumour that the actor was dead
Uche Edochie said the story that was making the rounds on the 8th of July, that his father died in an accident was false.
He further queried why someone would post an obituary of his father knowing that he is very much alive. Uche Edochie also explained that for the past twenty years, some set of people have decided to proclaim the veteran actor dead.
Uche wrote; “Hi everyone. My dad is fine. No, he is not dead and he has not been in an accident. Believe it or not, for the past twenty years, a group of people has taken up the task of declaring that my dad is dead.
He continued, “They do this every other year. Human beings are a weird bunch. I wonder what motivates people to do things like this. These are adults.
I guess they do it to drive traffic to their websites or just for attention; who knows? If this was a one-off incident, I would not even bother to talk about it. But they have persisted.
