Pete Edochie claimed that as he was leaving Nsukka, he fell asleep at the wheel, causing a collision with a trailer, which ultimately caused him to crash into some bushes.

Pete Edochie revealed that he had also experienced a near-death experience before and that he had been kidnapped once.

“I drove my car under a truck. I will say the truth, perhaps I had too much to drink. On the 14th day of March 1977, I drove under a stationary trailer in the night and by the grace of God I came out of it.

There was a time I was coming out of Nsukka and I slept on the wheel. I ran into a trailer and it knocked me into the bush. Like I said I have had some close shave but I thank God I am still alive. I have been kidnapped once too.”
