For the first time, seasoned actor Pete Edochie has addressed the passing of his grandchild.
The juvenile champion passed away after having a seizure while playing football with his schoolmates, according to GISTLOVER on March 29.
Kambilichukwu was reportedly taken by ambulance to the Mother and Child Hospital in Lagos, where he was later declared deceased.
Pete told Vanguard that Yul had contacted him on the phone to tell him about the incident, confirming the heartbreaking news.
Pee Edochie described his late grandson’s exceptional traits while talking about the deceased.
He claims that his grandson is an exceptionally quiet, gifted kid. He is not someone you can depend on, and no matter what, he never loses his cool.
He claimed that the deceased was an unusual individual who was extremely accomplished.
The eminent performer admitted that he frequently warned Yul that individuals like Kambili, who are exceptional at everything they do, don’t live long.
Pete said that as soon as Yul called them, he and his family began to pray for the kid.
“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”.
