Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has dismissed fresh reports suggesting he is dead, describing the claims as false and familiar.
The 78-year-old spoke out after rumours spread online that he had been rushed to hospital and died, with claims that his son, Uche Edochie, confirmed the development on social media.
Reacting in a telephone conversation with Vanguard, the actor said the reports were untrue and insisted he is fine.
“I’m alive and will die when my maker calls me home.”
Edochie said the death rumours have followed him for years, adding that he has had to address similar claims repeatedly.
