Alive and Well: Pete Edochie Poses With 55-Year-Old Son Following Fake Death News.
Just days after the internet was flooded with false reports that Nollywood legend Pete Edochie had passed away, a new photo of the actor looking healthy and strong has put all worries to rest.
The rumor, which spread quickly across social media and blogs a few weeks back, claimed that the 78-year-old actor had died after a brief illness. Fans across Nigeria and Africa were left in shock and mourning. However, his family was quick to step in and tell the public not to believe everything they read online. They confirmed that Chief Edochie was not only alive but in good spirits at home.
According to sources close to the family, this is not the first time such a false story has been made up about the Things Fall Apart legend. They pointed fingers at bloggers looking for quick attention and website clicks, accusing them of making up stories just to get people to visit their pages.
A Picture That Got Everyone Talking
To prove he was healthy and to calm the nerves of his fans, a picture of Pete Edochie has now surfaced online. In the photo, he is seen posing with his first son, Chief Leo Edochie. The image has surprised many people, but not because of the death rumor. Instead, people are amazed at how young the father looks.
At 78, Pete Edochie still carries himself with the same strong presence he is known for on screen. Standing next to him is his 55-year-old son, Leo. Many people who saw the photo commented that the two men look more like brothers than father and son.
Chief Pete became a father for the first time at the age of 23. Looking at the photo, it is clear that he has passed down more than just his name to his children. Leo, who is a businessman and traditional chief himself, carries the same dignified look as his father.

It also seems that Pete Edochie set a standard for his boys. Following in their father’s footsteps, all of his sons married early in life and are doing well in their chosen careers. For many people seeing the photo, it has become a perfect example of the benefits of marrying and starting a family young. It shows how a father can still be strong and active enough to share moments with his children as they grow older.
Of course, Pete Edochie is also the father of the well-known and sometimes controversial actor, Yul Edochie.
