He was accomplished, brilliant – Pete Edochie mourns grandson, Kambilinachukwu

 


Veteran Nollywood star, Pete Edochie, has expressed his grief over the untimely loss of his grandson Kambilinachukwu Edochie, and praised the young man's qualities.

 

In a tragic event that has sent shockwaves across Nigeria's entertainment industry, Kambilinachukwu, the son of popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, passed away on Thursday at the age of 16.

 

“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 anything they are involved in. Experience has taught me that such people don’t last long," said Edochie.

 

According to reports, Kambilinachukwu fell while playing football with his schoolmates and developed a seizure. He was rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital in Lagos, where he died a few hours later.

 

The tragedy comes just two months after Yul Edochie and his first wife May celebrated Kambilinachukwu's 16th birthday, showering him with blessings and praise on social media. Yul followed in his father's footsteps and joined the movie industry a year after marrying May, whom he had dated for six years before tying the knot at the age of 22.

 

The news of Kambilinachukwu's death has triggered an outpouring of condolences and support from the Nollywood community and fans on social media. Many have expressed their shock and sadness, while others have highlighted the need for increased awareness and advocacy around seizure disorders.

 

As the family and loved ones of Kambilinachukwu come to terms with their loss, the Nigerian entertainment industry mourns a promising young talent gone too soon.
