Pete Edochie speaks on sudden death of grandson — Yul Edochie’s son, Kambili
31 March 2023
Legendary Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has said his grandson Kambilichukwu Edochie was an ‘unusual’ child.
Yul Edochie, yesterday, lost his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
Confirming the sad news yesterday, Pete said his son, Yul, called him on the telephone, Wednesday, informing him that Kambilichukwu fell down while playing football with his school mates and developed a seizure.
According to him, the deceased was rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital, Lagos, where he died hours later.
Kambili died two months after Edochie celebrated his 16th birthday with his wife, Mary Edochie.
He said his family started praying for the child immediately Yul called him on the telephone about the sad incident.
Edochie said: “Kambilinachukwu is a very quiet, brilliant and talented child. He’s not somebody you can ride easily. He doesn’t get angry no matter the situation.
He may change his composure, but he was definitely a very unusual person in so many respects.
“He was so accomplished. I always tell my son that I don’t like people excelling like this in any thing they are involved in. Experience has taught me that such people don’t last long.”
Edochie said it was unfortunate that his grandson died while he had shown great promise.
Meanwhile, both Yul and his first wife, May, haven’t broken their silence since the incident.
So so sad. I feel great pain. May the Almighty God console the Edochie family, while we pray God to receive that little Angel into heaven. My heart bleeds.
