PRESS RELEASE

Ref: FALSE reports about
Chief PETE EDOCHIE (M.O.N)

We wish to categorically state that the news circulating on some blogs and social media platforms claiming that veteran Nollywood actor Chief Pete Edochie is no longer with us is completely false, malicious, and deeply irresponsible.

Chief Pete Edochie is alive, well, and actively going about his daily engagements.
These baseless reports have caused unnecessary panic and emotional distress to him, his family, colleagues,fans,and the Nigerian entertainment industry at large.

We strongly warn bloggers, content creators, and media platforms to immediately desist from publishing unverified information, especially on sensitive matters relating to life and health.
The spread of fake news is unethical, harmful, and going forward, we may consider taking legal actions.

We urge the public to rely solely on his official Instagram account @peteedochie as the only credible and authorized source of information or statements concerning Chief Pete Edochie.

Let us uphold professionalism, integrity, and humanity in reporting, blogging, and content creation — because
HUMANITY IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE.

Signed,
Management
Afrolens Media
