DSS Launches Probe as Pete Edochie’s Family Places Bounty on TikToker Over Death Rumour

A reward has been promised by the family of veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie for anyone with information that could help apprehend the TikToker who shared the news of their father’s passing.

The most recent development reportedly occurred when Pete Edochie’s family and management refuted a widely circulated allegation that he had passed away.

In a widely shared video on his Instagram page, Leo Edochie, the movie star’s first son, called the news of his father’s passing a lie straight out of hell.

Leo, however, revealed in a Facebook post on Thursday night that he had called the Department of State Services (DSS) to request the arrest of the TikToker who had made the announcement of his father’s passing.

He said that even though the DSS is pursuing the TikToker, anyone with pertinent information ought to get in touch with the family.

Leo said, “This young man posted a video on TikTok that our father is dead,” beside a picture of the TikToker. He can be reached at @ONE_BOR 001.

“There will be a substantial monetary reward for anyone with information that results in his arrest. DSS is pursuing him, and I have gotten in touch with them.

“DM me with the details; you will receive your reward in cash as soon as he is taken into custody.”
