Pete Edochie’s Family Urges DSS to Arrest TikToker Spreading False Death Rumours

The family of veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has reached out to the Department of State Services (DSS) to seek the arrest of a TikToker who spread false rumours of the actor’s death.

This follows swift debunking of the viral death claims by the Edochie family and management, confirming that the legendary actor is alive and well.

In an initial viral video on Instagram, Pete Edochie’s eldest son, Leo Edochie, strongly dismissed the reports as a “lie from the pit of hell.”

Subsequently, in a Facebook post on Thursday evening, Leo escalated the matter by publicly identifying the alleged culprit and announcing steps to pursue legal action.

Leo shared a photo of the TikToker and wrote:

“This young man posted a video on TikTok that our father is dead. His handle is @ONE_BOR 001. Anyone with information that will lead to his arrest will be handsomely rewarded in cash. I have contacted DSS and they are on his trail. DM me with the information, as soon as he is arrested, you will get your reward in cash.”
