Pete Edochie Dispels Death Rumour

Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has dispelled rumour of his death, saying that he is hale and hearty.

It was widely rumoured over last weekend, that the respected actor had died, but the bearded Edochie has  described the development as the handiwork of some idle people

Edochie is currently in his hometown, Enugu for the yuletide holidays. Former President of the Actors Guild  of Nigeria, (AGN), Segun Arinze, was among the first people to react to the rumour which went viral on  social media.

“Please, all those spreading rubbish rumour that Pete Edochie died should stop that now! The man is alive  in his house in Enugu enjoying his peace and holidays. His actor son, Yul just confirmed this to me now,”  Arinze said.

An official statement from AGN signed by its National President, Ibinabo Fiberesima, reads that Edochie is  hale and hearty, thereby urging his fans to ignore the malicious rurnour.

Edochie’s actor son, Yul, in his own response said “people please, I’m tired of all the messages, questions  and broadcast. My father, Chief Pete Edochie is alive and well, not dead. Please spread the word.”

The rumour came as a shock to Edochie’s colleagues, who were still mourning the death of prominent  practitioners in the industry.  Some of the Nollywood stars that died last year include  Pete Eneh, David Ihezie, Cassandra Gabriel and Enebeli Elebuwa
