In other news, Rita Edochie, a Nollywood actress, talked about her final interaction with Mr. Ibu after his passing.
The sister-in-law of Pete Edochie wrote a lengthy statement on her Instagram page, expressing that she was more touched by his suffering and his agonizing groaning when he was pallid.
She disclosed that she had last seen the deceased veteran at Evercare Hospital in Lagos, where they had conversed briefly and she was happy to hear that he was making a good recovery.
Rita Edochie stated that she believed her time with him represented heaven’s desire to receive his soul and release him from all burdens and tension.
She prayed for his family and offered a prayer for his departed brother, friend, and coworker, and she prayed for his soul to rest in peace.
She wrote:
“WHAT HURTS ME MOST IS NOT EVEN YOUR DEMISE, IT’S KNOWING THE FACT THAT YOU SUFFERED SO MUCH AND GROANED PAINFULLY IN THE GRIPS OF PALENESS.
THE LAST TIME I WENT TO SEE YOU AT EVERCARE HOSPITAL IN LAGOS, WE DISCUSSED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND I WAS VERY EXCITED THAT FULL RECUPERATION WAS TAKING PLACE.
I THINK THIS IS THE TIME THE HEAVENS WANT TO WELCOME YOUR SOUL AND RELIEVE YOU OF ALL THE STRESS AND BURDEN SICKNESS IMPOSED ON YOU AT LEAST NOW YOU CAN REST AND THE ILLNESS TOO CAN REST.
IN AS MUCH AS I KNOW THAT THIS RIGHT HERE IS VERY EXCRUCIATING, WE STILL DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO QUESTION THE GIVER OF LIFE.
DEATH IS REALLY INEVITABLE, IT’S A CALL EVERYONE WOULD ANSWER EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS TRANSIENT.MAY YOUR PEACEFUL AND EVER-LIVELY SOUL REST IN POWER MY GREAT FRIEND, BROTHER, AND COLLEAGUE
NOLLYWOOD WILL MISS YOU DEARLY.
ALL I BEG GOD FOR, IS THAT HE GIVES THE FAMILY YOU LEFT BEHIND FORTITUDE TO BEAR THIS LOSS. AMEN”.
