Edochie Family Offers Reward for TikToker Spreading Death Hoax
The family of veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has placed a bounty on information that would lead to the arrest of a TikToker who spread false news regarding the actor's death. The family, represented by Leo Edochie, Pete's son, has publicly debunked the viral report claiming that the actor had passed away.
Leo Edochie took to social media, specifically Instagram, to express his outrage over the misinformation and labeled it a "lie." He disclosed that he had contacted the Department of State Services (DSS) to take action against the TikTok user responsible for the announcement. The DSS is now on the trail of the individual, urging anyone with information to reach out to the Edochie family.
This incident highlights the impact of social media on public figures and the potential consequences of spreading false information.
